By the way, iPartition is an excellent product. Same goes for their support.

I don't have iPartition and I don't know what options the iDefrag Lite has, but iDefrag has Compact, Metadata, Quick-online, Optimize and Full-defrag options which you can choose for defragmentation. I found that the Metadata option does a very good job to improve speed. Also, the quick-online option which you can defragment only the fragmented files which you can do without unmounting the drive and without having to startup from another drive.

But, I had some problems, technical support invastigated and decided that there's a problem with the OS X and the Western Digital drives (which I have) and not with the software. They reported the problem to Apple and Western Digital, waiting for a solution.
