Introduction
This article describes how Winternals Defrag Manager orders files on a hard disk.



MORE INFORMATION
Generally, Defrag Manager defragments the files that grow larger. Defrag Manager usually moves fragmented files to the free space on a hard disk. This behavior makes the next defragmentation faster.

Benchmarks show that the defragmentation programs that use other schemes (a &quot;last modified date&quot; scheme, for example) may take a longer time and may consume more system resources. However, Defrag Manager performs better than these defragmentation programs perform.
