    Any good free disk defragmenters out there, preferably one that showed you how fragmented your disk is and shows you it being defragged

    Auslogics Disk Defrag is another one worth a mention.

    Try this http://www.iobit.com/iobitsmartdefrag.html?Str=download

    I have used it as an alternative to the built in defrag. It has an option to defrag your Hd when CPU usage is below x%. However this might be a bit of overkill.

    Another jkdefraggui user here. Excellent piece of software. Just ensure that you are using the latest version of jkdefrag.

    note jkdefrag != jkdefraggui

    The gui is only a wrapper which makes it look nice :pac:

    Also Defraggler is handy for defragging single files..

    Dont bother installing tho.. Just extract the installer and use it as an exe with no install.

    Diskeeper, chose it because of the great GUI and for the option to set it on auto defrag, but of course its paid.
