Defraggler is the worst Defragmenter on the planet!

I love and trust Pirifrom's CCleaner so much it's my fav. tool but it surprises me that such a good developer releases this Defraggler... on many occasions, I tried it, and got the same results, but everytime they release a new version. I feel like giving it the benefit of the doubt....no luck...

I have a 1 TB HDD along with my SSDs (which I don't defrag obviosly)

So I click on the HDD and hit defrag, estimated time to finish is 9.5 hours for god's sake! and I'm wondering, what on earth is it doing?

Even PerfectDisk although uses a more advanced method of defargmentation called SmartPlacement which places the most used files on the outer edge of the disk for faster access, still beats defraggler by a foot's pole

So after I was intimidated by that 9.5 hour ETA, I quickly closed it and ran the Windows built in Defragmenter it finished the job within 10 mins!

surprisin' me... heh

Defragging a 1tb drive in 10 minutes? Windows is lieing to you man.

If the inbuild defragger was as good as third party, third party wouldn't exist.

Deffraggler is fine. Windows defrag doesn't properly defrag non windows files and shorcuts very large files, defraggler does not. That is why it takes a long time first go. After that if you do it once a fortnight it wont take so long.
