JetDrive Defragmentation Suite
40hz:
FWIW I've been quite happy with various versions of JKDefrag/MyDefrag by Joeren Kessel.
I'm not super big on PC drive defragging since my experience leads me to suspect many of the claims for the ongoing need to defrag, and the benefits to be gained by doing so, don't seem to hold up in the real world. I suppose it does no harm, and may help in some cases. But for most users, an occasional reorg with something like myDefrag should be more than sufficient.

And do remember that Windows Vista and 7 have their own kind of defragger, to place applications and associated stuff in optimum locations, when it's idling.

So many folks came to know that if your machine is slow you had to go through the top-secret defrag process. In Windows Vista we decided to just put the process on autopilot with the intent that you’d never have to worry about it. In practice this turns out to be true, at least to the limits of automatically running a process (that is if you turn your machine off every night then it will never run). We received a lot of feedback from knowledgeable folks wanting more information on defrag status, especially during execution, as well as more flexibility in terms of the overall management of the process.

I have always been hugely sceptical about defragging software. Then recently I upgraded my home network to gigabit, but was disappointed by the network speeds from one particular (XP) machine. It was achieving half the speeds of other machines on the network.
It turns out the hard disk was badly fragmented -- the 10 most fragmented files averaging more than 20,000 fragments each! In fact it was so bad that XP's built-in defragmenter wouldn't work. I tried it a couple of times, and it just played with the files but didn't fix them. Just kept reporting that I still needed to defragment my disk!
I turned to JKDefrag, and it did the job. It took 12 hours, but it worked. So yes, in my experience, an occasional defrag is probably a good idea and yes, if your disk is in a bad way, trying a specialist program like JKDefrag is worth a shot.

Seems to be "Day of Defrag" today since Softbuy is proposing a newcomer in the defrag area, Advanced Defrag.
BTW, one of the the reasons why I suspect JetDefrag is derived from JKDefrag/MyDefrag is that the options are exactly the same.
