Anyone who’s had a PC for more than a few months knows that it will begin to slow down over time, they probably also know about disk de-fragmentation which basically reorders your disk drive to perform more quickly.  The free one that comes with Windows is better than nothing, but the other day I came across MyDefrag which is easily the best free disk defragmenter for Windows I’ve found.

As a defragmenter it looks great, but one of the things it also does is segment your drive (not partition just organise in segments) based on the file type to ensure the most commonly used files are near the beginning of the drive which in itself can see a major improvement in performance.

If you’re looking for the best free disk defragmenter for Windows, check it out.

NB: not sure if “defragmenter” is actually a word!
