De frag

I have a desktop computer running Windows 7. If I defrag with Auslogics defrag it does it in no time. If I straight afterwards run the Microsoft de-fragger, it takes ages and makes many passes.
My question is which one is accurate and the best to use?
Thank you, Jack UK.

I use Auslogics and don't recommend using two different ones...

Does anyone know how efficient the Windows defrag is, and is it as good or better than independent ones from the web?

Now a days, defragging isn't as important as it used to be. With the huge increase in CPU performance, one hardly notices any differences in disk read/write performance.

You could test this yourself. It appears that you last used the Windows version... Wait a few weeks and use the other one you have to test and see if you notice any difference.
