Cobra File Defrag Editor's Review
Cobra File Defrag is an interesting yet refreshing change from the standard Disk Defragmentation tool found in Windows by default. The software takes on a very simplistic look – which is a nice change – however can be slightly system resource intensive at times. From first run, I didn’t think I’d like this software at all, however my opinions did change.
The download itself is a .zip file, making you think that the application would in fact be one single .exe file. However once extracted, the software must be installed (a tad disappointing), using its tiny 378KB installer package. Installation was quick and smooth, and unproblematic.
Once installed, you are faced with a very simple, retro, Windows 95 like window, and a file tree on the left hand side of the application. It took me a minute or two of clicking around to work out how to get started.
One thing I do like about this software is that once you have worked it out, it is in fact, actually very simple to use. Much like Windows Disk Defragmentation, you must analyse your files and folders before proceeding. However unlike the Windows alternative, you do not have to analyse and defragment your entire hard drive in one go – in fact you can pick individual directories or partitions instead - a very nice feature! Similarly, you can choose whether to analyse or defragment ‘this folder/disk only’, or ‘this folder/disk and sub-folders’, giving you masses of control over the defragmentation process in comparison to other similar tools I’ve seen – a brilliant feature!
Another feature that I hugely enjoyed was the fact that the software does nothing but what it is designed for. In many utility applications, various settings are available that I feel gives the user far too much control over the application, which can easily lead to confusion. Cobra File Defrag does nothing but what it says on the tin, plus the expected additions of a User Guide and the ability to check for updates. A feature that some users may despise, however I quite enjoyed.
When opening Cobra File Defrag Trial, you are shown a dialog box that indicates you can use the full software for 15 days before you have to pay for it. However once you start using it, it becomes apparent that you cannot in fact perform a defragmentation until you register for the full version – very disappointing as this software could be used over and over and I’m sure many users would pay for the small price for continued use after the 15 days are up.
Overall, I really like this software. It initially caused me confusion as I was expecting far more in terms of clutter and options from the software, however once you get into the ‘simplistic’ way of thinking, Cobra File Defrag is easy and powerful to use, containing some incredibly basic features missing from the Windows alternative. 8/10.
Cobra File Defrag Publisher's Description
Cobra File Defrag is a useful utility that performs file as well as disk based defragmentation.
Most defragmentation tools work on an entire disk or individual drives. Cobra File Defrag is different as it allows you, using an Explorer style screen, to see defragmentation of every file folder on each of your disks. Each fragmented file or folder can be individually defragmented, as well as an entire disk.
It will also allow you to defragment what you want file by file or folder by folder rather than being forced to defragment a whole drive as with conventional tools.
Cobra File Defrag employs an innovative technique to reduce future fragmentation by moving file blocks into fragmented free space on the drive. This reduces the chances of new files themselves becoming fragmented and maximises the amount of contiguous free space on the drive.
This utility is useful if you\'ve just installed a game, application, movies, music or photos onto your computer. You can then just choose to defragment the folder where they are located to make sure they are accessed from the disk as fast and smoothly as possible without having to defragment the entire disk.
A command line option allows you to run defragmentation from a command batch or scheduled job. This is particularly useful if specific folders on your disks get regularly fragmented, and you can then schedule a batch job to defragment just these folders without the overhead of defragmenting the entire disk each time.
As hard disk capacities get bigger and bigger and so defragmentation times get longer and longer, this tool becomes ever more useful to cut the time required to defragment your files.
