Auslogics DiskDefrag utility was a favorite of mine and I've always included it in the suite of useful apps whenever I configure a laptop, be it for work, or for personal use.
I'd recommend it, even for those who says that SSDs should not be defragmented. I'm not going to discuss that. Even Microsoft do SSD defragmentation. But before you jump the gun, read more on this topic, so you know full well -- you are aware on what is and what is not.
In this short article, I will just say this: I used to swear by Auslogics DiskDefrag utility, insisting even to anybody that it is a required function in the laptop, so the machine is kept in tip-top condition.
Not anymore. Starting from version 8.0.24, the app became a nagger. Always popping up a need to upgrade with a non-killable prompt.
Nobody likes that. Especially bosses who would not believe in the first place that Auslogics DiskDefrag is a necessity.
I rest my case.
I no longer endorse that once useful app. And what's more, they removed the portion that I deemed it useful in the first place: defragmentation of SSD.
So from then on, no more of that nagger. No more of that (once useful, but is now useless) piece of junk for me.
I use these words as I am very disappointed on how a company that produces good software - for free - suddenly turns into a nagging machine. Sorry, but then again, I really mean it.
So goodbye Auslogics DiskDefrag. And I'm not trying any of their free software apps again. I'm sick of being nagged. Thanks but no thanks.
