DefragNT
- presents the user with
many options for disk defragmenting (including various file
sorting criterias) and many informations about the opened
partition. It is a visual-rich tool which will even allow you
moving a specific portion of a specific file to a specific
location.
Beginning with version 1.9.0, DefragNT supports Unicode file names.
DefragNT is freeware.
Currently available:
version 1.9 (March 2004)
version 1.6 (January 2004)
version 1.5 (December 2003)
version 1.1 (November 2003)
In-depth description can be read here.
Compatibility: Only OS-es built on the NT kernel newer than 3.5 are supported. FAT partition support for Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP and newer; NTFS partitions supported only beginning with Windows XP.
The name of this utility might change to DefragXP.
Data safety: File cluster moving is handled exclusively by the NT operating system; DefragNT does not install a custom NT service nor communicate directly with the disk drive. DefragNT is very data-safe.
For future versions I have the followings in mind:
- performance improvements of the main, "clean" defragmenting algorithm (at the expense of system memory, probably);
- implementation of some more algorithms, for example for fast defragmenting/consolidating disk free space;
- improved disk and files status report;
- implementing the possibility of defragmenting simultaneously 2 or more partitions found on different phisical drives.
