UltimateDefrag is a disk defragmenter that sports many more features that the standard Windows utility, promising to restore hard disk performance fast and easy.
There is nothing too complicated about the application but in case you find it difficult, there's always the rich help manual that comes with detailed descriptions of every single feature bundled into UltimateDefrag.
The application boasts almost all the utilities you normally expect from this kind of tool, including multiple defragmention modes and a rich settings screen.
The interface also presents a detailed graph showing defragmentation level, letting you know exactly what is happening with a selected hard disk.
There are six defrag modes, as it follows: fragmented files only, consolidate, folder/file name, recency, volatility and auto. Each of these options take a while, so make sure you have the time before initiating a new defrag.
While performing a user-defined defragmentation, UltimateDefrag shows file count, contiguous files, fragmented files, number of fragments, degree of defragmentation and estimated time remaining. There's always the option to stop the process, but also a dedicated setting to choose the maximum resource usage.
Because yes, UltimateDefrag takes most of your CPU and RAM, so make sure to close the other apps before launching a new defrag.
In addition, the application comprises dedicated tools to schedule a defrag, but also to perform a quick test and determine disk speed. It all takes just a few minutes, but once again you must close all the running processes to get the best possible results.
Overall, UltimateDefrag is an excellent defrag tool and since it comes with a reasonable price, it really deserves a chance.
