The website is down now. I am mirroring the free license info here: http://www.disktuna.com/where-did-the-vopt-defragger-go/

Vopt remains a very fast defrag and disk optimization utility, even under Windows 10. Please note that Vopt is not SSD aware. Do not use it to defrag SSD drives.

Big interesting graphics, good user tips, lightweight install, good defrag. Unique.. you hover over the square and it will tell you what file(s) it belongs to. This may team well with PassMark Fragger which allows you to defrag individual files. Has some cleaning options.

Sadly the then-excellent Vopt9 do not work well with the latest implementations of UAC and Windows Defrag API.

It's a hit-or-miss.

On some PCs, it works flawlessly.

On others, it seems to work, throws no errors, but if you check the drive afterwards, the actual defrag was blocked and your drive is in the same state as before.

Still, it's worth a try, if it does work for your OS, then you'll have the best defrag around.

What is Vopt?

Vopt-fast disk defragmentation. Vopt lets you quickly defrag and pack your disk drives to maintain optimal performance and reliability. Vopt's speed makes daily defragging both practical and desirable. Vopt also provides tools to assist you in maintaining your system, reclaiming wasted disk space, and protecting your privacy.

Vopt offers many different lanquage choices to give you the comfort of working in your own native language.

Limitations Maximum partition size: 16 TB (terabytes) for volumes formatted with a normal 4096 byte cluster size. Larger cluster sizes will increase capacity; smaller cluster sizes will decrease capacity (e.g. 2 TB maximum for a 512 byte cluster size). NAS (Network Attached Storage) drives cannot be defragmented, and are not displayed in Vopt's drive list.
