Best defrag tools?

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

I use Piriform Defraggler. Is it ok or should I be using something else.

I use Defraggler too

I used to use Defraggler and SmartDefrag in the past, but to be honest Windows' built in defrag is pretty much all anyone needs.

window's built in defragger is all you need really, it's better to use this than to use others which advertise "better" performance. All the while running the risk of malware etc. that might come with it.

Just throwing this out there, you might already know this, don't defrag your SSD.  Some software lets you do this, others block it

Just use Windows defrag. It's definitely good enough. There is not a significant difference with the others. It's simply a digital snake oil.

So it's just the interface that changes.

Don't think Piriform's would have malware.

I moved away from Defraggler to Smart Defrag. Reason: Defraggler is painfully slow.
