Need a defragmentation software!

[Lukiose]

So, in liew of me planning to record game footage very soon, i'd like to defrag my 2.0TB Barracuda before recording to enhance performance. But the disk defrag is safety-locked by the OS to prevent me accidentally defragging my SSD. Rather than risk myself making a stupid mistake by removing the safety feature, i'm looking for an external defrag software for my HDD.

Looking around google gave a few suggestions for Auslogics, is it reliable? Or are there any better?

Thanks

Edit: And if you can, please recommend me a game recording software as well. Fraps is destroying my Hard Disk at 36gb for 7minutes for footage, ergh.

well i use the windows one and i make sure i never do my ssd. thats the only one i know of. i have 2 of those drives and they are beast.

Auslogics is awesome, aspecially pro version (it has some neat features) I defragged my C: partition with one of special profiles, and it just stopped fragmenting itself over time.

If you don't want to spend money on it, just get 30 day trial, you won't regreat it.

I heard that O&O is pretty sweet, but haven't tried one myself.

Piriform (CCleaner guys) has Defraggler, but it just looks like cut-down from Auslogics free edition with tiny changes.

Only advice I can give you for 100% is: Don't use Windows default one, its like IE. Gets the job done, but there are other guys that do it faster, better, and in more advanced ways to suit your needs.

You could use defraggler (filehippo) I think it's made by the same people who made ccleaner

Not sure about a defragger but use Handbreak once you have finished recording a video, it is a really good compression tool that can change those 32gb into probably about 1gb

Use O&O Defrag for deep defrag. (Optimize/Complete mode). It will be however, very consuming process.

Use Windows Defrag for a normal defrag, it's good enough.

I'm using MyDefrag mainly because of scripts (don't worry it comes with default scripts).

MyDefrag is pretty awesome. Definitely should check it out.

Defraggler (pirform) or smart defrag (iobit) are great defrag tools, and I would just recommend you compress the files by running it through something like Freemake Video Converter (convert to the same file type (I've seen files drop from 1.23GB (output from AfterFX) to 1.73MB )). Otherwise, DXTory's a great tool from my experience.

I prefer Diskeeper because it will defrag and monitor your write fragmentation on the background.
