Yet Another Defrag Program – JKDefrag
1580 days agoWoohoo, I am on a roll. I have yet another defrag program to introduce to you guys. It’s JKDefrag. And it’s Open Source too. Hahaha, I am sure some of your Open Source geeks will be pleased about this. You can download this software and distribute it freely.
Anyhow, JKDefrag uses the standard Windows API to defrag your HDD thus your data should be quite safe. It seems that a lot of commerical “defragers” use the same API as well. However, JKDefrag is much faster than the Windows Defrag program and it is optimized for everyday use. It allows you to set different defragmentation strategies so you can optimize your data to your heart’s contend. What is also interesting is that it allows you to defrag individual directories or files! So you won’t need to spend hours defraging your entire HDD when all you need is to optimize a certain directory. And you can even use this program as a screensaver. It will run whenever your Screensaver starts and it will display a detailed defragmentation map of your HDD.
JKDefrag allows you to defrag your HDD even when your HDD is full(or near full), unlike most other defrag programs out there. And because it is meant for the causal user, it’s pretty simple to operate and use. You shouldn’t have any problem using this software even if you never touched a defrag software before.
JKDefrag works by analyzing the data on your HDD to determine which files are located at which part of your HDD and figure out how to optimize your data. It will then provide you with the optimization strategy and then start moving your data around. Although it is much faster than your Windows defrag software, for a large HDD, it may take some time to complete. That’s why I recommend the screensaver mode. Let JKDefrag defrag your HDD when you are not around!
Yes, Open Source rocks!
