UltimateDefrag is a retail
file-system
defragmentation
utility made by DiskTrix. A crippleware version of the program was formerly available as the UltimateDefrag Freeware
Edition.
Functionality includes defragmentation, consolidation of both disk space and files within folders, arrangement of files by volatility (most often used files) or recency (most recently used files), and analysis of the disk. The disk analyzer displays disk information in a circular graph representing the physical disk. From this, the user can select sections of the disk, see a list of the files in that section, information regarding individual file fragmentation and compression, in which folder they are located, and which sections are reserved for system use, among other information. From there, one can individually defragment files. In addition, UltimateDefrag has the ability to defragment files based on manually entered wildcard expressions.
