A powerful freeware defragger.
MyDefrag is a very fast and pretty advanced freeware disk defragmentater which runs on various scripts available and comes with several default scripts which run on the program, 10 to be exact as of version 4.3.1. As with most defragmentaters, it can both just analyze a disk or actually defrag it.
With that said, let's go over the other scripts which come pre-installed.
Consolidate free space is one of them and actually rearranges the layout of your hard drive by moving files and folders to the beginning of the physical disk for presumably faster access.
Flash memory disk defragmentation is a script designed for use on memory cards like Flash and SSD (microSD defragmentation, for example). Since flash disks are somewhat limited in how often it can be written to, this script was designed specifically not to perform as many writes and erases as a normal defrag pass would. The developer does note in the program interface not to use this mode very often.
The others are actually scheduled defrags of the few core pre-installed scripts and can be performed daily, weekly or monthly.
Overall, MyDefrag is a pretty powerful program and with the use of scripts makes it inheritly modular meaning users can build upon in. It uses the Microsoft Windows defragment API entirely. Tech support is provided for free on the MyDefrag support forums, with many technical support questions often answered by the developer himself.
