BEST DEFRAG

[Premgenius]

O&O Defrag

[SpicyBeef]

Thanks guys.

I use diskeeper. I like running the auto-defrag in the background on low priority. It keeps my disk in top shape and doesn't slow down any of my work or gaming.

The defragger in Norton does a good job, as does Diskeeper 8.

[yanman]

Diskeeper :D :D :D :D :D

I have used OO defrag for a while (the V4). It's slow, but it does the job more perfect compared to Diskeeper.

Diskeeper, on the other hand, was nothing compared to OO defrag. However, when the version 8 comes out.....it really rocks. Even since the OO defrag is upgraded to the v6 (November 4,2003), Ihave also found that Diskeeper V8 is still the best...

[Mostly Corporial]

PerfectDisk :alien:

Looking back at O&O v4 which i used til ab. a week ago it seems so slow compared to perfectdisk now :whistle:

[iwod]

For all other kind of software i usually can figure out myself which is the best simply by my experience and using it for a few weeks......... Like firewall, AV... etc

Defrag program is one of those i can not figure it out. First there is not a proper way to measure the difference.

With the New O&O defrag. Perfect Disk 6. And DiskKepper 8. All these new version are now equally easy to use. ( O&O used to be slightly harder becoz it has more option but with the new version i think it is on par with others in terms of user friendly. )

I think Perfect Disk is only 5 Mb of Installation. While Diskkeeper uses the most Harddisk space; ~20 Mb installation .. (If this point matter to you that it )

[MxxCon]

if you measure by size of install, then i think VoptXP is the smallest..only 3megs.

i think Norton SpeedDisk lays out files most logical and optimal way.

directory entries and MFT+ reserved space to very begining of the disk, followed by custom "files placed 1st", after that comes "frequently accessed" files, followed by "infrequently modified", followed by "normal" files, followed by "frequently modified", followed by free space, followed by "infrequently accessed" files, followed by custom "files placed last".

yes, it is not as fast as say diskkeeeper8, but i think it improves performance more than diskkeeper...i think it's better to have optimal file layout like w/ speeddisk and have 2-3 fragmented files, rather than unoptimal layout and have 0 fragmented files

[Wildies]

O&O is working with me very good here...

It takes my Vote (Y)

[midway40]
