[kinetix63 Veteran]

A fresh "Best Defragmenter" poll for 2007. Please use this as a reference when researching Defrag utilities. As time goes on, the poll can be updated to add further options.

Happy voting!

Hey everyone! Just wanted you all to know that I am progressing well with my results and should hopefully have them out next week sometime. I'm trying to make the information as detailed and thorough as possible. It will also be unbiased; no favoritism whatsoever.

Do you have an update on those test results we're all eagerly waiting for? :D

It's been on the back burner for the last week. Work, fiancee and illness are in the way right now, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm working on it today.

i use diskeeper and am very happy with it

[soldier1st]

same,it seems good.

[Guest Jeremy of Many]

I have some more testing to do, and then fix all the validation errors in the HTML file and it will be available.

Another vote for Diskeeper 2007 pro. Until a month or so ago, I was using a cocktail of various defraggers' trial versions. But I finally settled for DK for various reasons but the real clincher was its auto mode.

I really like the automatic defrag-in-the-background mode and it does an excellent job of keeping both my drives defragged. Totally removes the need for scheduling manual defrags- I've not had to run a single manual job after switching to DK. I was initially skeptical , but invisitasking does work very well. I would need a really compelling reason to abandon DK pro now, and I can't see any other defragger offering such a reason as of now.

after awhile i always switch between perfectdisk and diskeeper because i can never decide what one to use,the thing i do like about diskeeper is it defrags automaticaly without bothering me wheras with perfectdisk you need to schedule it but a plus for pd is that it has the best boot defrag and needs as little as 5% free space to do it's thing but with dk it seems like i need like 20% or more,can someone correct me if i am wrong?also with dk it seemed i only needed to do 1 boot defrag then let it do it's thing,my drives are usualy quite full and after awhile i do back stuff up to free up some space,i always read articles that pd is the better of the 2 and what dk says is true too but... but also on some systems dk wont work but on all systems pd works fine.need help with it.

Perfect Disk 8 for me

[toasale]

I've betaed PD, DK, DTrix and the olllllld Norton Speed Disk. I use PD and am not paid to state this.

I have some more testing to do, and then fix all the validation errors in the HTML file and it will be available.

so what's the status and are there going to be any further delays?

this is the second or third time it's been delayed and we've yet to see anything (and it's been a month since you last posted...)

It's called life. New versions of defragmenters, and even a new defragmenter showed up. Sometimes I'm motivated and sometimes I'm not. I'm getting married on August 11th.

It will be finished when it is finished. Want something sooner? Do your own testing.

Cheers,

Jeremy

i do tend to agree with jeremy of many,we all have lives you know,he does this by choice not by an order.anyways can't wait till you finaly get your testing done when you do get it done,take your time man.

[Quillz]

I've always found PerfectDisk to be the best, although the standard Windows defragger isn't bad, either.

+1 for perfectdisk,it seems to do the best job and cleans up what dk does.

What about Auslogics?

That's what I use on Vista and my XP Laptop!

[chicoicho]

i use ashampoo magical defrag 2

[Mamuf]

I allways used the WXP original defragmenter and I like it shows the graph. But now I miss the graph in Windows Vista so I would like to find such a defragmenter which works perfectly in Vista at the first point and second it should show the disk usage graph. Is there any?

[ana04]

JKDefrag..
