Why does Defraggler literally lock itself once it begins to defrag?
I've got 4 physical hard drives in my computer, with the first drive having 3 partitions.
The problem I have with Defraggler is that if I wish to defrag two or more physical drives separately, to cut down on time, I simply CAN'T do that... And on top of that, Defraggler doesn't have a scheduler... So if I want to defrag multiple hard drives, I simply cannot do so without having to be in front of my computer, babysitting it.
I understand that defragging multiple partitions is bad -- But defragging multiple hard drives simultaneously has nothing but benefits.
Will we ever be able to select multiple hard drives and defrag?
P.S.
I know that there are probably more important things in the works right now, such as a faster engine, boot time defragging, registry compacting, MFT compacting, optimized file placement, etc -- But being restricted to defragging ONE hard drive at a time is just plain silly.

So let's say you want to defrag all your hard disks via a batch file you could have this inside of it, and it will defragment each hard disk/partition one at a time:
