Hailstorm Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Well, I recall hearing about a program thats supposed to be really good at defragging. However, I have lost the disk i was given and cannot remember the name of the prgram. Then ,I also don't work at the same place anymore, so getting another copy is out. Whats your guys thoughts about defrag programs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I've used O&O defrag before, it works quite well when you do a startup optimized defrag... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I use Diskeeper, works great. Have it scheduled to run every 24 hours, so combine that with Raptors and I never have issues that are tied to a slow drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkster Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) I've used O&O defrag before, it works quite well when you do a startup optimized defrag... I second O&O Defrag. I use it once a month or whenever I move large files around. Edited January 28, 2007 by silkster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 i use diskeeper also, its a very useful defragger with the ability to setup a schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nVidia_Freak Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I've used both O&O as well as Diskeeper. My vote has to go to O&O tho'. I like the fact that I can have it defrag my drive daily at a specific time. I haven't seen that as an option anywhere in Diskeeper. The closest it gets is defraging automatically based on your habits. But O&O does that anyway on its own. So give O&O a go 'round. :thumbs-up: Edit- O&O also has a lot more defrag methods for whatever you use your computer for. I take advantage of that by doing manual defrags with the space method and have my schedule set for the access method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diskeeper gives you the option to schedule based on your usage AND on a specific time that you set. In fact, I currently have it set to defrag between 8AM and 10AM every Monday. You can run it any day of the week, only on weekdays/weekends, everyday except a certain day, etc. It has a ton of customizable scheduling options that are easy to understand and setup.

I never saw options for that in Diskeeper. Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough, but at least with O&O it's bloody simple to work with and ther aren't a whole bunch of tabs and menus to look through.

Kash Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 What version of Diskeeper did you use? I'm running version 10 and it's as easy as beans to figure stuff out. You just click on a drive, hit the Set It and Forget It button, and all the options you need pop right up in front of you. I know previous versions had the "Set it and Forget It" option, but I don't remember whether the scheduling options were as intuitive as they are in version 10....

It's a bit of a change from version 10, so perhaps that's why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Hmmm, Diskkeeper was that program I talked about. But, I will take a look at O&O. Thanks Gents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
