Puran Defrag - Have anyone tried it out?

[Lisandro]

Puran Defrag (now into Puran Utilities) does not installed smoothly in my W8. Although it seems to be working.

Puran in my opinion, is the best defrag utility bar none. It has so many options and will defragment the page file, MFT , and registry in a boot time defrag. I usually just use the optimize directories option but every once in a while I will also do the fill gaps and let the PIOZR optimization run. The program will keep your machine running at peak efficiency with no need to use the autodefrag options if you run it once a month or so. It's also very fast.

 I also use Puran and agree it is the most effective I have used to date.

Better or worse when W8´s defrag?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the built in win8 defragmenter and it's also incorporated into the new win8 optimisation feature so why not just stick with that as it works very well.

I've always been puzzled why it's human nature to look for something "better" when,
what they already already have is working well.

The grass on the other side of my fence might be greener but it's also full of Tiger Snakes

Build yourself a electric fence to stop Tiger Snakes coming in

My favorite feature of the new defrag in Win8:

Doesn't work Speedy, they just burrow straight under any fence plus I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me electrifying there children

It's because traditionally, the Windows defrag programs have not been very good and have been painfully slow. Even the XP one wasn't that great. I have to admit that I've never even tried the Win 7 one or the Vista one but they are turned on to do a weekly optimization automatically.

XP is ancient history which is why many new technologies only work on Windows 7 and 8. Sorry but technology progresses at an ever increasing rate and
if you're not keeping up with it, you'll be left behind.

Sorry Bob but you've completely missed the point which is that people have known since Windows 95 that the built in Windows defrag program was not very good, or even downright bad. (It was actually a crippled lite version of Diskeeper). Therefore, many people are reluctant to even give the newer versions a chance even when they do keep up with OS changes. Maybe the Win 7 and 8 ones are much better but since I use Puran, I'm reluctant to try out the Win 7 one because I know it will undo all the Puran optimizations and put it's own in place which may or may not be better. Based on past experience , I'm inclined to think it wouldn't be an improvement.

Dch48 as you've stated you have not used the win7 or win8 defrag then you should not be inclined to make assumptions on there abilities compared to puran, I on the other hand tried puran on win7 and it was just as effective as defraggler and both were no better than the built in windows version other than the windows version was slower and auto defragmenting didn't take place until there was at least 15% fragmentation on the disc which was no big issue and didn't hamper performance.

Now "win8" is a whole different kettle of fish again and the defragmentation performance is extremely efficient, MFT is defraged on a daily basis during optimisation without requiring reboots and you don't have to get to 15% for auto defragging to work anymore either so there really is no need to try anything else as windows does all that is needed

[bob3160]

My point is a very simple one. If you already have the tool as part of your OS and it's working,
Why add a third party app. In Windows 7 the built in defrag worked and has only gotten better in Windows 8.
