Well, I'm going to start this for non free programs that I feel everyone should at least try.
Moderators, I invite you to edit in to this original post, your choices also, (please give yourself a credit when you do so.)
also, lets try to make these programs only programs that give a trial, so the user can experiment before purchase.
I'll edit and clean this up as we go, not all of the following I have tried, or carry my personal endorsement, though some do...in any event, according to most users, following products are programs that have value in excess of the cost.

perfect disc, the best defrag program I have seen
diskeeper...another fine defrag utility
partition magic, the only partition tool you'll ever need
