I am currently evaluating a couple of different disk defragmenters. So far the best I have found is Defraggler. Does anybody know of any defraggers that are better than this one?

There is nothing wrong with the defragger that comes with windows. No need to waste your time playing with third-party defraggers.

Sorry, but I beg to differ with your opinion. After running Windows defragger there are still many gaps and fragmented files, I then run Defraggler and the gaps disappear and many more fragmented files are taken care of. There is a substantial noticeable difference. Since I find that Defraggler is noticeably way better than the Windows defragger I was wondering if there was anything else even better yet. I found one other program, but it was about the same as Windows defragger.

P.S. Defraggler even shows you the names and sizes of the files in each cluster and of the fragmented files.

Having benchmarked disk performance for both defraggler and the Windows defragger, I regret to inform you that both programs offer the same performance. Defraggler is faster than the Windows defrag, but no better.

O&O or Diskeeper in my opinion.

Also.. is it necessary for the big letters and the red color? :)

I will give O & O or Diskeeper a try. Thanks for the tip. As for red it is sort of my trademark. As for benchmarks being the same, my tests have proved otherwise, so I guess it will be like which is better Ford or Chevy...everyone has their own belief.

The defrag utility built into Windows is as good as you need, primarily because NTFS rocks, but also because it IS Diskeeper, just without the fancy UI and some of the useless extras.
