Has to be Diskeeper!

[Sietse Veteran]

Hmm.. I like O&O Defrag.

It is quite expensive though..

[GhostShell]

I am satisfied with Diskeeper.

PerfectDisk beats all others.

We had Diskkeeper, but is was unable to defrag several servers, Perfectdisk did the job, and is now the standard here.

Perfectdisk is the best no doubt....

Also isn't there a million threads about this??

[Slimy]

do a search buddy.

most people haven't tried perfecdisk and will tell you diskeeper is the best. perfectdisk actually improves performance and is much better than diskeeper. o&o and diskeeper aren't bad defragmenters, but imo perfectdisk is just better.

[ultimate99]

anyway, i perfer Perfect disk after using disk keeper for a while.

[BigCheese]

I've used Diskeeper, but PerfectDisk just seems much better.

[AmpCoder]

I prefer PerfectDisk over the others.

I used to use Diskeeper. Then tried PerfectDisk and have never looked back. Very fast. (Y)

Windows Disk Defragmenter!!! woo

Perfect Disk is probally better, but I use diskkeeper because it suits me better (screensaver defrag)... Plus it's a lot faster.

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.

perfectdisk imo.

gives you a nice amount of info in an easy to understand way.

I used to use Diskeeper, until I came across PerfectDisk. Perfect Disk I think is a much better product and it makes more of a difference for your computer.

[Slouch]

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.

PerfectDisk, as far as I know, doesn't offer a service to automatically check and defrag your drives if need be. I prefer that over a possible performance boost.

[:: Lyon ::]

Same here.. using Diskeeper then tried Perfect Disk and stays there :)

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.
