Note: Defragmenting files and folders on SSDs (solid state drives) is generally not recommended. If you're looking for a useful defragger which saves time by only targeting certain areas of your filesystem, then WinContig is definitely a good free candidate which can work wonders (compared to long processes by Windows' own tool.) Unlike the built-in Windows defrag tool, WinContig can help specify which directories need to be defragmented. For example, you can only choose to defragment C:\Windows for faster operation of Windows. Without having to actually install WinContig (it's a portable application), you can defragment your hard drive or specific areas of it like directories. Hard drive defragmenters generally help improve the speed of your system and WinContig is a program which does exactly that.

Some of the most common bottlenecks when you have a traditional hard drive installed are caused by fragmentation of your filesystem.
