DiskExpress is one. There's a new INIT based version called DiskExpress II.

SUM II from Symantec has "HD Tuneup". Considering all the other good stuff
you get with SUM II, it's a really good deal. I also prefer HD Tuneup to
DiskExpress. It seems faster and more robust (DE has crashed on me a couple
of times while doing 'fast' degragmenting, eating the files it was working
on. Fortunately, I'm paranoid about backups...)
