Laplink Defrag

Fragmentation wastes storage space and leads to performance loss. If you do not want to waste disk space and if you want to get top performance from your PC, you must defrag your machine. That is something you can do with Laplink Software’s Defrag. This tool allows you to manually analyze and defrag drives; it also monitors your PC in the background and automatically defragments data.

Download an installer and run it; when the setup wizard shows up, click through the instructions it presents; you will thus quickly install Laplink Defrag. When you’re done installing Laplink Defrag and you launch the application, you will be invited to enter a registration code or use a 30-day trial.

Laplink Defrag has a ribbon interface: at the top there’s a ribbon that features buttons for all the features, functions, and settings you can play with. You can customize the interface by choosing a style (blue, black, silver, aqua), by playing with the font settings, or by adding toolbars and commands

Background Monitoring is a feature that will analyze and defragment data if necessary. To put it in other words, Laplink Defrag silently monitors your PC and jumps into action when needed. It thus makes sure you do not suffer the negative effects of strong fragmentation.

OneButtonDefrag is a feature that lets you enable the defragmentation to take place automatically. You do not have to do anything by hand because a wizard takes care of selecting the optimal parameters and setting up a schedule for the defragmentation of all drives.

Background Monitoring and OneButtonDefrag are just some of the features Laplink Defrag has to offer. Here are a few others: five different methods of defragmentation; manually analyze and manually defrag drives; find individual files within the Block View with ClusterInsperctor; check a drive for errors; reports; drive status; and more.

As mentioned above, Laplink Defrag is free to use for a trial period of 30 days. This should be enough time to uncover all the functionality the application has to offer. And enough time to decide if you want to purchase a license or not.

Wasting storage space and losing performance – these are the main negative effects associated with strong fragmentation. But if you get the properly good Laplink Defrag, it will provide protection from strong fragmentation.
