Some other programs have been mentioned in this thread.
I remember that Auslogics Defrag and Defraggler was tested. Auslogics with
the better score of these two.
I cannot remember if Puran was tested.

A side note:

Be careful of how often or when you defragment if you are performing
regular *image* backups of your host. Many image backup programs can
save either full or incremental image backups. However, if you go
moving sectors around with a defrag then it is likely a scheduled
incremental image backup will result in performing instead a full image
backup and you consume more of the backup media's space than you had
intended.

If you scheduled image backups of your host, also schedule the defrag to
occur before you schedule a full image backup and not on any other day
when you schedule an incremental image backup.

From the site:

"This is Puran Defrag Free Edition which is exactly the same as its
commercial version
except you do not need to pay for it. "

I think the key word is "exactly." If it's crippled in any way I have yet
to discover it.

In the English speaking countries..."no different than..."
