Good disk defragger?
Xtras:
I use this one myself (until Windows 7 that is):

Pros being an automatic defrag that continually optimizes when there is low cpu utilization. Of course it also includes the usual stuff of scheduling, auto-shutdown etc.

XP disk defragger isn't bad. You can see it doing stuff, but it doesn't move anything.
Vista disk defragger is a piece of shit. Slow and no way to know what the status is.
7 defragger is very interesting and quite decent. fast and proper. But I still prefer defraggler.
The only downfall of defraggler is no boot time defragging afaik. But quick defrag is fucking great to reduce fragments on an HDD super fast. (35-50k files in approx 8 months from maybe 20 the last time I touched those machines.)
I see very little use of boot time defragging being useful unless it's a personal computer. Work computers... no point. Let it die~ish, request corp upgrade and see if you can get a freebie that's semi useful for HTPC or making a modem or w/e.

There's no real benefit to defragging my SSD, is there?
Steam keeps telling me I need to defrag.

Steam's being an idiot. All defragging will do is wear the SSD down a little quicker.

using this one too, has the option to consolidate files so I can prioritize my games and IDE's on the outer regions of my drives make it run faster :)
