When was the last time you defragmented your hard drive? Can’t quite remember? Then join the ranks of many users that shy away from the time-consuming defragmentation of their hard disks. Over time, hard drives get fragmented due to half-hearted maintenance, resulting in a significantly measurable performance loss. This is where Ashampoo Magical Defrag 3 steps in. The program runs as a background service and defragments your hard drive only when computer is idle, hence enabling you to follow your everyday work routine without any distraction.

A legitimate question – the answer is: yes, it is, and not only that. Next to a thoroughly revised defragmentation engine, Ashampoo Magical Defrag 3 offers numerous features and improvements that make defragmenting your hard drive even more comfortable. Ashampoo Magical Defrag 3 basically runs on the principle “install and forget”, and yet also offers an extensive set of options. The program’s Job Administration provides you with multiple defrag jobs that can each be configured individually and a job scheduler offering editable time settings for each job. With Defrag Now you are able to start a non-stop defragmentation with just a single mouse-click. In addition, you can also spontaneously start any preset defrag job, irrespective of the predefined time schedule, by just pressing Start Job. Another program feature is the SSD protection that hinders the software from involving SSDs in the defragmentation process. Due to their specific design, SSDs do not need to be defragmented and wear out much faster if you continue to do defragment them anyway. The integrated Screensaver allows you to keep track of the defragmentation progress even while taking a break and comes with different designs that bring life to an otherwise purely technical process.
