Many ppl seem to use PerfectDisk , whats so special about it.

Been using Diskeeper since a long time and am satisfied with it.

Just curious about PerfectDisk.

It's very thorough, only has one version for all features (unless you need the server version,) has a pretty decent interface, and instead of paying every time they release a new version you get a really damn cheap yearly or biyearly upgrade plan.

Not much else to say. I haven't used Diskeeper in years so I can't say how good it is, but the tier thing ticks me off.

After trying out perfect disk, diskeeper and some others i decided to go back to windows vista disk defragmenter...i really don?t trust those third party aplications and i think they only mess up your system...imho

+1 under vista i think you only need the one that comes with vista,under xp those others may be good.

out of curiosity i tried Perfect Disk after using diskeeper so many years.

PerfectDisk rocks must say , its smartplacement tech works gr8.

I did get some transfer speed boosts and the defrag speed was also good.

So now i am quiting Diskeeper and using PerfectDisk for all my defrags.

OS : WinXP + SP2

I use Ashampoo Magical Defrag, it claims to stop fragmentation, and unlike other defragmenters it doesn't hog resources, and automatically does a defrag every 2 weeks or something lol and knowing me I would forget to do it manually lol.

I really like diskeeper, but it always holds onto my external drives and doesn't let me format or eject them when I plug them in, even though I've disabled new drive detection in the diskeeper options.

I prefer diskeeper because I keep my computer on all the time and it defrags while it's idle, but I really like Perfectdisk's pre-boot defrag as well as how fast it works. Also, between the two, it seems that I notice the most performance gain from Perfectdisk, so my vote is cast for Perfectdisk.

JKDefrag

i add / delete / move around a ton of large files all day long (no not pirated movies :p ) JK being 64-bit helps the speed quite a bit when defraging

and when i use it on my C: i notice huge increases in speed when windows boots and logs on

as well it has lots of different types of defraging and options of what and how to defrag stuff

OO 10 works well on VISTA SP1, I use it!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
