Auslogics releases a new version of its famous defragmentation tool - Disk Defrag 3.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 3 - now with advanced disk optimization techniques.

Sydney, Australia - August 10, 2010 - Auslogics releases a new version of its famous defragmentation tool - Disk Defrag 3. It is now supplied with advanced algorithms which allow not only to defragment, but to optimize file system to get the maximum out of the hard drive performance.

New and improved functions in Disk Defrag 3

Free space consolidation
It is not a secret that a simple defragmentation leaves the free space on the disk highly fragmented. It means that the free space is split into many small pieces all over the disk. Windows fills in those pieces of free space with newly created or extended files. The more fragmented the free space is, the more fragmented new files will be. Disk Defrag 3 merges free space into a large contiguous block. This technology dramatically slows further files fragmentation and speeds up disk access time.

System files smart placement
Commonly used by Windows, system files may be scattered all over the disk and intermixed with data files. Disk Defrag 3 arranges system files by defragmenting and moving them to the faster part of the disk. This improves overall computer performance and makes system running more smoothly.

Keeping the MFT Reserved Zone clear
Normally, NTFS file system reserves about 12.5% of the disk volume for the MFT records (a place where information about every file and directory is stored). However, when the rest of the disk space is getting low, the MFT Reserved Zone will be used for storing regular files. This may lead to MFT fragmentation. Disk Defrag 3 moves regular files from the MFT Reserved Zone into the rest of the disk space, allowing NTFS to allocate contiguous space for the MFT records and thus to prevent its fragmentation.

List of fragmented files
Disk Defrag 3 lists all the fragmented files after performing disk analysis. Selecting any file from the list will highlight its clusters' location on a fragmentation map. Each single file or several files can be defragmented or added to the ignore list.

Other improvements include a significantly increased defragmentation speed and a redesigned user interface. Navigating through Disk Defrag 3 is now even more simple and intuitive. It can be integrated into the Windows Explorer context menu and minimized to the system tray on close.
