The Good * Straightforward and fairly easy to use. * Allows for defrag and compacting of MFT along with the norm disk defrag. * Gives users the option to select how to order files/directories. * Supports internal and external (USB/Firewire) hard drives. * Can create a bootable CD/DVD or USB/flash drive for defraging without loading Windows. * Ability to automatically shutdown computer after defrag has finished.
The Bad * Total Defrag 2010 does have 64-bit support, but today’s giveaway of Special Edition does not support 64-bit. * Huge file size (~75 MB)! * Lacks any sort of automatic defrag feature (no scheduler or anything similar). * Does not support USB/flash drive defrag. * Can only defrag one partition at a time.
rodbac said: This really only amounts to an extended trial of the program, I'm told. If you ever need to reinstall, the "activation" won't be any good.The "trial" lasts as long as you leave the initial installation in place, so I'd have a hard time being critical of the offer on that point. I'm not aware of many (if any) software trials with an indefinite duration. Did whoever "told" you their opinion about this also note that it is free?

I like http://www.mydefrag.com/ "MyDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer (a maintenance utility to make your harddisk faster) for Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 2008, Win7, and for X64. It is freeware, no time limit, fully functional, no advertisements. Fast, low overhead, with many optimization strategies, can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a set of easy to use scripts for endusers, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus commandline version that can be scheduled by the Windows task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts.
