Ogni giorno offriamo programmi GRATUITI che altrimenti dovresti comprare!
Paragon Total Defrag 2010 Special Edition (English Version) era disponibile come app gratuita il 19 novembre 2009!
Con il passar del tempo, dopo la creazione e la cancellazione di molti documenti, il file system finisce con il frammentarsi ed il sistema diventa inevitabilmente più lento. Questo accade perché i dati vengono salvati in maniera frammentata e, a causa di questo, l'hard dsk deve lavorare molto di più. Total Defrag 2010 è una soluzione completa per la deframmentazione e l'ottimizzazione del disco fisso. E' basato sulle tecnologie originali di Paragon ed effettua una deframmentazione a basso livello che aumenta le prestazioni del disco riducendo la frammentazione a zero.

@Ashraf Why would anyone want to defrag a flash drive? There's no mechanical drive head that needs to move around the platter(s) - there aren't any - and data are accessed electronically. Anyone trying to sell you a defragger for flash drives speculates on your lack of knowledge. These programs are not only an utter waste of money and disk space they even shorten the lifetime of your flash drive.
Ignore Ashraf's "review", defragmenting is a technical issue. I strongly recommend against installing or using Paragon Total Defrag, I won't be testing it because I looked at the information on their website.
Issues with defragmenting:
Is it necessary? Depends. File fragmentation generally doesn't matter a lot, although heavy fragmentation of frequently-used files or the particular files that you're using can impact performance. Pagefile fragmentation can slow your PC to a crawl.
Is there an advantage in using a third-party defragmenter on Vista and higher? Well, I haven't used the Vista defragmenter, but as far as I know, it's OK, not great. You'll still need to use other software to defragment your system files, particularly the pagefile. Pre-Vista, use something decent, not the Windows defragmenter.
Do file optimization strategies matter? Depends. Generally, on Vista and higher, not much, as multiple running tasks tend to randomize disk access. The beginning (outer) tracks of non-RAID disks are generally faster, so moving files there can help a lot if there's a lot of free space on the disk. Some optimization strategies are designed to improve the performance of subsequent defragmentations.
What should I look for in a defragmenter? First and foremost, safety. Paragon immediately fails because it offers an unsafe mode. All decent defragmenters use the Windows defragmentation API. Part of safety involves knowing what files not to move, and having solid code. Well-established commercial defragmenters excel there. Optimization strategies can matter, mostly to speed up subsequent defrags. The ability to fully defragment the disk, including system files. While some system files like the pagefile can only be defragmented while Windows isn't running, Paragon fails because their website says that it won't defragment system volumes at all while Windows is running. Scheduling and the ability to defragment multiple volumes is necessary, which again, Paragon fails. Using a boot disk to defragment is also a fail. Decent defragmenters can defragment system files after Windows loads its drivers but before starting Windows itself.
What do I need to do to fully defragment my volumes? On Vista (and probably Windows 7), you'll need to set it to not delete the pagefiles on shutdown (the pagefiles can't be defragmented if they don't exist), and you should use fixed-size pagefiles, as dynamic pagefiles will fragment at runtime. The pagefile deletion is a "security" feature, but that's a joke, because it's simply marked deleted, not overwritten. Windows itself tracks and occasionally places and defragments boot files (those used shortly after Windows starts). Decent defragmenters will cooperate with Windows on those. Even on NTFS volumes, you should run a disk check before defragmenting. Vista only allows a single volume to be scheduled, and on my PC, it isn't releasing the volume, so I can't also schedule a boot-time defrag. Actually, I only run a disk check if there was a crash; Vista maintains volume integrity during normal operation. The security descriptors can get all messed up by a crash, so I recommend doing a disk check as soon as possible.
Can I defragment external drives? That primarily depends upon the external drive hardware. Some allow it, some don't.
Should I defragment RAID volumes? With RAID, at least the higher levels, the files are scattered (physically fragmented in large blocks) anyway, but defragmenting cleans up the Windows file tables, which may help slightly.
What defragmenters are available? Lots. Personally, I use Raxco PerfectDisk Professional. The defragmentation itself is solid, it was the first to fully defragment the entire volume (by many years), it has a good optimization strategy, no volume size limits, it's been the first to obtain Microsoft certification in recent years, and doesn't have a reputation for bad coding like some others. Having said that, it's certainly not flawless. I don't know if they ever fixed the idle-time (automatic) scheduling, but that never worked when I tried it. Free-space consolidation doesn't work very well on Vista because so much disk writing is going on all the time, at least on my system. The UI has some minor problems. You can try others, like Diskeeper, but PerfectDisk had several features many years before Diskeeper, some Diskeeper versions had bad coding, and I think that their essentially continuous defragmentation defeats some of the purpose of defragmenting in the first place, which is to improve performance (it has to have some performance impact). In terms of freeware, people often mention MyDefrag, but if you check the version history, it has an astounding number of bugs. For defragmenting the pagefile(s), you can use PageDefrag.
#15, oblivion, Windows adjusts the size of the MFT as needed.
The Good
* Straightforward and fairly easy to use.
* Allows for defrag and compacting of MFT along with the norm disk defrag.
* Gives users the option to select how to order files/directories.
* Supports internal and external (USB/Firewire) hard drives.
* Can create a bootable CD/DVD or USB/flash drive for defraging without loading Windows.
* Ability to automatically shutdown computer after defrag has finished.
The Bad
* Total Defrag 2010 does have 64-bit support, but today's giveaway of Special Edition does not support 64-bit.
* Huge file size (~75 MB)!
* Lacks any sort of automatic defrag feature (no scheduler or anything similar).
* Does not support USB/flash drive defrag.
* Can only defrag one partition at a time.

Windows Defrag tool never move the metafiles like Total Defrag does. It leaves used system files (open files) intact and moves only those that are not locked. So the defragmentation is done for 50 - 70% only.
And TD2010 provides 99% defrag results.
In previous incarnations of WIndows, I could see a drive map, which changed as defragmentation progressed. I don't see that in Vista, and so have no idea if defragmentation has minutes or hours still to run! This program's screenshots does show a drive map, so for me that's a good plus point.
I am concerned however that support - should I choose to purchase - requires creating accounts, remembering "ticket" numbers and all that neausea.
I wasn't even able to report a simple web page error just now - on page http://www.paragon-software.com/home/total-defrag/screenshots.html - the alert box asks "Are you shure?". I wanted to help by reporting that, but I'm not wasting time on such a simple process. So I will pass on this giveaway and go for one of the alternates. Thanks anyway.
Purtroppo la mail non è ancora arrivata. Ci rinuncio, peccato perchè sembrava un buon programma.

mi spiace a chi non è arrivato il seriale, a me è arrivato regolare. Installato e cancellato ... Perchè? Semplicemente perchè a metà il processo di defrag si è piantato (ho aspettato 20' ma la barra non si è schiodata e il tempo passava solo sul mio orologio), quanto ho premuto [esc] come suggerito mi ha avvertito che avrei perso tutti i dati della partizione che stavo deframmentando. Panico assoluto, ma visto che non c'era scelta ho proseguito l'operazione ... tutto e terminato bene (lo scandisk di windows ha detto che è tutto era a posto), ma non mi piace essere minacciato quindi ...
Aspetto altre opinioni, io non lo riprovo più :-/

Sul portatile con W7 mi ha combinato un casino! Si è piantato e ora mi toccherà ripristinare sperando che funzioni...
Sconsigliato.

@"domanda stupida?"
in effetti, in teoria, avresti ragione a pensarla così, in realtà molti programmi di default di windows sono carenti . Prendi per esempio il firewall di windows oppure il registratore di suoni ecc.: svolgono funzioni molto elementari e probabilmente non sufficienti.

@Ugo, mi pare che questo SW funzioni in maniera un pò particolare: a me ha chiesto di riavviare il PC per poter operare in modalità provvisoria . Sarà anche un buon programma, ma il fatto che non sia possibile effettuare la deframmentazione continuando ad usare normalmente il PC è parecchio scomodo (devo dire che non ho ancora ben analizzato il funzionamento del programma, probabilmente selezionando la modalità "deframmentazione rapida" questo non avverrebbe). Insomma funziona un pò come lo scan disk: il disco C non deve essere in uso.
@Max e Barbara, a me la email contenente il seriale è arrivata immediatamente. Una volta che avrete ricevuto i codici di sblocco, non tentate di individuare la finestra di registrazione del programma in cui incollare il seriale poiché, una volta ricevuta l'email, il programma risulta già automaticamente registrato, come potrete verificare effettuando il login nel vostro account di "paragon" (nella stessa email troverete anche la password per l'accesso al vostro account).
Fermo restando che sono scarso, l'impressione è che sia un buon programma, ma occorre studiarselo un pò perché il suo utilizzo non è proprio di immediata comprensione.

Scusate l'ignoranza ma come può funzionare meglio del Defrag gia presente a standard Windows? Funzionalità esistente da anni, testata infinite volte, e creata da Microsoft (azienda enormente più potente in termini di risorse umane, monetarie, ecc..)

Hi all!!
This is SPECIAL ONE!!
ULTIMATE DEFRAG FREE EDITION (just 2.43 MB vs 87 MB of today's giveaway...what the hell???) is much better than both this GAOTD and all the defrag free alternatives listed on the GAOTD American forum!!!
Why??
Simply because it's more than just a defragger!!!
In fact ULTIMATE DEFRAG is also a hard drive file placement optimizer that enables users to defrag and place their files in the areas on their HD where they can achieve maximum performance, taking into account that on average 80% of the time PC owners only use about 20% of the files stored on their hard drive.
ULTIMATE DEFRAG is different than other defrag applications out there since it's able to detect and send your rarely used files onto the slower performing areas of your HD making your DRIVE perform as quick as a new and almost empty one!!
And it's the best fast reliable defrag tool out there even if you don't want to use (all of) its ADVANCED OPTIONS and simply want an ordinary defrag by selecting the "AUTO option", because it uses effective “in- place” defragging algorithms for fast, reliable and complete defrags.
Highly recommended!!

Salve gente, solo a me non arriva la mail con il seriale?

Non riesco ad avviare la deframmentazione, mi dice di riavviare per completare il processo e poi ritorna al punto di partenza una volta riavviato il PC.
Succede anche a voi?
Grazie per ogni eventuale risposta.
