Defraggler is a utility developed by the Piriform team, unlike the default Microsoft tools. It is known for its speed of defragmentation. Often noticeably faster than the standard Windows Defragmenter. Your comparison shows impressive results: about five times faster. Defraggler also displays live PC temperature and hard disk status, which is a bonus for monitoring.

It is important to remember that frequent defragmentation can reduce the lifespan of a hard disk, so using it once a month is a reasonable frequency. This gives you a balance between performance and hardware preservation.
