0 spaceelf Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 static_geek Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Been using JKDefrag for the last month. Excellent speed, tons of options, and fairly easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Quad Master Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dc'1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 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.

0 soldier1st Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 ashampoo defrag dont seem very good,either use the vista one or perfectdisk and set it to run idle every 1 day every 1 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pallab Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I tried Diskeeper for a month, but then decided to go back to Perfect Disk. Its still the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 kisSOL Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 To the common user JkDefrag is EXCELLENT. With JkDefragGUI the user can to do a very good defrag + optimize/compact Registry + defrag paging files/Registry hives/hibernation files.

0 ruterger Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lover Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I like OO and use it for 2 years, but PerfectDisk is definitely the no. 1, so I will to have a look at it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lover Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 JKDefragi 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!
