I prefer O&O Defrag... version 6 is REALLY fast, analysing a volume takes only 1-3 seconds in comparison to over a minute for version 4. It has a simple interface and IMO is easier to use than others. It looks good and runs well. It managed to defrag my 7mb (yes, mb) partition in less than a second :D, lol. Also, check out the websites to these programs - Diskeeper is purely progaganda and has big "200% Speed Increase" signs; I think it's safe to say that it is aimed at complete n00bs - still, at least the website gave me a laugh with the "unimaginable power lurks beneath the surface" part.

Haha.. so true... diskeepers got all these nice graphs saying it just increased performance by 33 percent everytime, but i swear i hardly notice any improvement. Not only that, it never defrags fully on one pass, u need a hundred multiple passes and at least 20% free memory in order for it to do its job correctly. The new diskeeper is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

I'm trying O&O as we speak and although it might take longer, it's seems to be defragging completely in one pass with only 5% available free space. i perfer to run defrag only once at night and not have to worry about it for another few weeks instead of having the defrag utility continually hogging resources.

no!

you open the drive with a hammer then you carefully sweep a magnet around the disk!

:p

This is what I call a "fast reformat" :rofl:

I've just tried O&O 6, and it's great ! Takes ages to defrag my 40 Gb partition, but it's seems to be very efficient :cool:

Um.......... one thing i don't understand is why Perfect Disk need to defrag many times....... like after my first Offline defrag, i still need to do another offline defrag.........

However i still thinks Perfect Disk is the best though, simply becoz it is smaller in size and does the job. I don't understand why O&O takes 20Mb for a defrag program..........

I still think Perfect Disk could be improved......... looking forward 2 version 7. ^^

o&o defrag is amesome. the "stealth mode" managed to bring number of fragmented file from ~6000 (out of ~60000) to 7 in under 20 minutes

(my hdd is 80 gb - 30 is free.) ALL THAT WHILE I WAS DOWNLOADING 2 FILES IN ABC. :) i am impressed.

very highly recommend you try it before settling dont on build-in or diskeeper (all the others suck so badly i wont mention them)

I don't understand why O&O takes 20Mb for a defrag program..........

who cares. it does the job quick and right, and you can let it work in the background while you do something else and it does not interfere with your work. also it has all the option you may need. what else can you ask for in a defragmenter?

:yes:

See, I don't understand. My PC must live in the twilight zone because I've tried O&O and its extremely slow on my pc. It takes forever to analyze and defrag. Go figure.

Note: i'm not saying the program is bad..I just cant attest to the claimed speed of defragging

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
