red930 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I've been using Diskeeper10 for awhile and i love it. So much better compared to the regular Windows utility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Geez, O & O is very very good. But I voted Diskeeper. Been using it since 6.0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Diskkeeper is good, does it have support for MFT optimization? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1ce_hat Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 i've been using o&o for about a year or so, but i recently heard the rage of diskeeper and i'm trying it out right now, so i thought i'd poll you guys... and sure enough, it has fans here too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Never had an issue with Widows defrag, don't see any reason to install another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkissane Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 "the one that comes with Windows" Not since the dark days of 340MB hard drives, DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 have I ever noticed an increase in performance from defragging. I don't do it that often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisD Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I choose Perfect Disk. I dont defrag too often, but when i do, i dont want it to take forever. I have had really good success with this app. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingspar Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I’m confused. The poll is “ Best defrag software”, but in your first post you ask “what do you use to clean out those pesky fragmented files”. So, which is it? Are you asking for our opinions on what “we” think is the best defrag software our there, or are you asking what we use? I use Norton Speed Disk, and have been using it since Win 3.1 and Norton Desktop. I’ve not used any other, except the Windows version which is slower than molasses. Do I think it is the best? I don’t know. Maybe not. Since XP came out, it doesn’t seem to do as good of a job, and lacks a lot of details that earlier versions had. So, since I’m not going to say it is the best and haven’t used any other defrag software, there is no answer in the poll for me to click on. I’m posting so I can watch this thread to see what people think of other software. I heard good things about Diskeeper on another forum, but I don’t really want to invest the money when I already have Norton Speed Disk, however, I am interested enough in the subject to keep an eye out for something that would definitely be an improvement over Speed Disk.

RubberDuck Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I voted the one that come with Windows. Never had any problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
