Pros:
More options than the Windows Defragmenter. Has a Stealth option, which can defrag large files efficiently. Executes a Job, which automates the defragmentation at scheduled times.
Cons:
The Price.
Review:

First look at this would suggest that we may have some old wine in a new bottle but gradually we are presented with a few more options. The flickering reminds you of Las Vegas lights, but its not money here but blocks that are changing from one to the other.

Another good thing is you can see what a mess your pc was and how very intricately it has been put together so that the performance is enhanced.

A pie chart gives a dynamic representation on the degree of defragmentation. As far as i am concerned, graphical representations always gets a thumbs up.

This has a ‘STEALTH’ option. This option is recommended for Servers with very large hard disks and since the ‘STEALTH’ option has been designed with large fileservers in mind it can be an ideal office tool where large files are used.

This has another option of executing a Job, which basically acts as a scheduler. This would ideally take care of defragmentation on a regular basis. You only need to set the time and date and the rest is taken care of just like your regular scheduled software.

The status report gives all the details about the fragmented files and that can be really helpful if you are keen to know what’s happening to each and every cluster on your PC.

Conclusion:

Personally I don’t think I would be spending $40.46 USD on software that is easily available, but you could spend on it if you feel that you need to add to your software repertoire.
