5 stars (diskeeper 9) - this is an excellent program for keeping HD neat and clean. windows has a defrangment program built in but after using diskeeper 9 i wont use windows verson again. as a test i defragmented my HD using windows then used diskeeper 9 to see how well windows did ...............no comparison. diskeeper found defragments all over my HD. i love the "set it and forget it" on diskeeper. i use the screensaver set up,. so when ever my PC is running and my screen saver comes up, diskeeper goes into action and defragments the HD, which keeps my PC running fast.
speaking of fast i also noticed the diskeeper ran faster then windows for defragmenting. windows has been known to take up to 2 hours + for defragmenting. diskeeper took less then 30 mins the first time running, now it takes 1-5 mins if that due to the set up i choose.
mind you i am not a PC expert but i can find my way around a PC pretty well. so i am HIGHLY recommending diskeeper 9.
5 stars (Great product) - I purchased Diskeeper 9 after using version 7 for a few years.
Version 9 is a big improvement. It keeps my files in order, and
does it a lot faster. Great product it does a much better job than the windows version.
3 stars (getting better) - I have yet to see executive's defragger outperform O&O Defragger software or Raxco's Perfectdisk.
If I were to place these 3 programs, it would be:
1st place - O&O Defrag V8.0
2nd place - Raxco perfect disk V7.0
3rd - Winternal's defragger utility/ Executive's "diskkeeper"
O&O is like THE defragger to use.
A real, true "swiss army knife" of defragger's.
Choose "HOW" you defrag a system, based upon how it is used.
You have like 6 ways to defrag, based upon how YOU want it done.
[Example: workstation, file server, database server, etc]
All of the above mentioned companies offer DEMOs of their programs.
Do yourself a favor and "test-drive" each product BEFORE you buy.
