PerfectDisk 7, it smokes the others. I have had it defrag disk that the others could not do.

Diskeeper 9 Pro, smokes PerfectDisk in speed easily.

Perfectdisk, price im not sure...

Diskeeper: Speed

PerfectDisk: More accuracy

O&O Defrag

I just shake my laptop until the screen clears. No, wait... that's my Etch-A-Scetch.

Try Defragmentor Pro Plus. :)

PerfectDisk: Best, Accurate and Defrags completely

Diskeeper: Set-It-And-Forget-It, but don't like the 'minor' issues that it can cause.

O&O: Very efficient but to my experience, doesn't defrag completely and consolidate free spaces well.

I'll have to check that out. I haven't seen a defragger defrag completely since the days of DOS it seems.

Definately Perfect Disk

Tried diskeeper - wouldn't defrag fully most of the time - had to run 2-3 passes to get it "perfect"

Perfectdisk - its... well..... perfect!

Why didn't thread starter use Search?

VoptXP is good, batch defrag and all

Another vote for PerfectDisk 7. It's a little slow, but it does its job really thoroughly. Diskeeper's great if speed's all you care about, though.

Another vote for PerfectDisk 7. Diskeeper 9 PRO does a horrible job of defragmenting..and even though it might be faster than PerfectDisk, if you're defragmenting and all you care about is the defragmenting speed process..then why're you even defragmenting in the first place? :D

why do you need to ask stupid questions?

perhaps peoples opinions might change?

PerfectDisc. the other ones don't come even close.

PerfectDisk here. I had a disk with very little disk space free. Diskeeper and others would try and quit after a few minutes. PerfectDisk chugged right through it and got my disk defragmented. Been using PerfectDisk ever since.

Whatever happened to Norton Speed Disk. Did it just stagnate and fall by the wayside?

[nos_grunt]

I'd like to (temporarily) add my vote for O&O. It seems to do a pretty darn good job, plus it has the scheduled task option of defragging only if the disk has reached a certain percentage of defragmentation (IE 5%). That way I can keep it set on a weekly timer (to run when everyone is asleep), but it won't run unless it's become too defragmented. Thus saving the drive from having to go through too much (unnecessary) thrashing.

If Perfectdisk has this option though, I may just have to give it a try :D

IMO, perfectdisk sux, it needs to defrag the WHOLE disk instead of juz CHOOSING to defrag parts of the disk in DISKEEPER ..

Diskeeper doesn't defrag the whole disk on any of my drives. It leaves segments that are not contiguous, even if not marked NON-Moveable.

Perhaps Perfect Disk won't do that. I guess I will have to try it.

Speed disk takes way to long to defragment..and even after its done, its hard to tell whether it even did anything or not.

After running Diskeeper, my system didn't seem any faster. But after running PerfectDisk, I could actually tell that my system ran more smoothly and programs loaded faster.

PerfectDisk here, although I can't get it to find my usb unit (a iRiver 5Gb).
