The simple explanation of why you need to defrag your drives is this: file fragmentation leads to performance loss; defragmentation reduces the amount of fragmentation on your drives, thus reclaiming lost performance. Ashampoo’s Magical Defrag silently runs in the background and automatically defrags your drives. It doesn’t get in your way while you work; it automatically pauses when you work and it automatically runs when you take a break.

The system requirements for running Magical Defrag are: 256MB of RAM, 50MB of free disk space, any Windows edition from XP onward. If your computer runs the Windows operating system properly, it will run the Magical Defrag application as well. The setup wizard that helps you install Magical Defrag on your Windows PC will have you pick between an Express and a Custom installation (pick the installation directory, choose if you want a desktop shortcut, pick if you want to install for all users or for current user only).

The first time you run Magical Defrag you will be presented with an “Introduction to Magical Defrag.” It tells you that the software consists of three core functions:
1. A background program that defragments the hard disks if necessary.
2. A control program that you can use to control and monitor the background defragmentation.
3. A screensaver program that allows you to visualize the defragmentation state when you’re not working.

As I’ve already mentioned, Magical Defrag can automatically run in the background and defrag your drives when and if necessary. It must be mentioned here that you can also manually run a defragmentation task and that you can manually create defrag jobs that will be run at the time you specify (every week on Friday, at 9PM for example).

By default, Magical Defrag is free to use for a trial period of 10 days. Upon request, you can extend the trial period with an extra 30 days.

Defragmenting your drives is something that you have to do if you want your PC to run at top performance. Thanks to Magical Defrag you don’t have to bother with manually defragmenting your drives. It “automagically” takes care of this task!

Pros

Modern and even older PCs will have no problems meeting Magical Defrag’s system requirements. The Magical Defrag background program defrags your drives when needed. You can create defrag jobs and you can manually start defrag tasks. There’s a handy screensaver program that allows you to visualize the defrag state. Magical Defrag is free to use for a lengthy period of 40 days (10 days by default, 30 days upon request).

Cons

None that I could think of.
