If you have more than 1 drive to defrag, then check out Auslogics' Disk defrag here -> http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/

 

It defrags multiple drives at the same time, which is useful for me as I have 3 drives.

I use Defraggler, it seems to be quicker than Windows (7) Defrag - it also gives you visual representation

Tried it myself. unfortunately it did not work right

 

Before use, I had 150 GB used. After use 300 GB used.

 

I don't get it.

Hey there Thanosnic

 

What is the drive that you are going to perform the defrag on?

The built-in tool is quite good and manages the storage drives well. There are other third-party tools for it but I doubt you would see a noticeable difference between the stock one and the others out there (regular consumers rarely do). 

You shouldn't lose any files as the operations simply rearranges things on your drive so it can access them easier and thus increase its power efficiency and performance.
