Best defragmentation software


Question

Recommended Posts

  • 0

Personally, I used diskeeper for about a year and a half. I upgraded, ran it whatever. Used it normally. I never actually saw any difference over not defragmenting, or over the windows defragmenter.

About a week ago, I got perfect disk after seeing a recommendation on Neowin.

All I can say is WOW. It actually made a noticable difference. My boot time sped up by ~ 3 minutes. (Long story, used to take about 5 minutes to boot as I run lots of stuff in the background that has to load. This took about 3 minutes of load to about 30 seconds.)

Anyway, you might also want to see the Software review threads in the Reviews by members forum.

Same story as others - used Diskeeper for a long time, then tried PerfectDisk. PerfectDisk gave me all of the features I liked in Diskeeper AND it sped up my system. If you've been using anything other than PerfectDisk, try PerfectDisk for a couple of weeks and you'll see what everyone is saying. You won't be disappointed.

I'm 99.9% sure all third-party defraggers use the Windows defragger.

well.... no... E.G. O&O

I tried Perfect Disk (using their trial..btw they have sent me a lot of e-mails about how they are better than diskeeper, reports benchmarks and stuff... obviously, that's their biggest enemy) it takes a long time to defrag despite of my HD being maintained by Diskeeper before I tried it.. the apps were slower and it was not an improvement over diskeeper. The only problem with diskeeper is that when it analyze the HD for fragmentations, the results ALWAYS VARY!! :angry: Especially after a manual defrag. (no, I wasn't running any background tasks) I use o&o now and it takes a long time to defrag... (and it's kinda confusing to decided how to defrag the drive.. (by last used, created..etc)) but I like it, it has the most in depth analysis report of the fragmentation status of the drive, though the reports varies at times(not as much as deskeeper!), but it's pretty close.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
