Windows defragmentation tools review in progress

I have been working on a complex set of tests for a review I am putting together of 4 defragmentation tools.

The aim of my tests are to benchmark defragmentation performance, refragmentation (both in terms of number of fragments AND performance).

The tests are complex enough (and repeatable) to show how significant the differences between defragmentation tools AND I have also included a test without defragmentation as a baseline to highlight the significance of defragmentation in general.

The results are rather clear, with the results clearly split down the middle. I am just finishing off a few further tests and then I will start writing up my findings.

The full article should be completed over the weekend.
