    Disk Defragmenter

    hello,

    With MS's standard disk defrag utility becoming more of a joke with each version of Windows released, I am looking for a 3rd party disk defragmenter. Can anyone reccomend any? I've tried Perfect Disk, this one seems to be the best so far.

    So what's actually the problem with the Vista defrag? I don't have Vista yet, so just interested...

    It's a 'lite' version of diskeeper and as such can't do one pass defragment and doesn't really lay things out particularly well IMHO.

    Re: Disk Defragmenter

    diskeeper is the one i use.

    it's pretty good, and i'm looking at revies for the latest vesion 2008 as it's meant to work really well even when the hard disk is pretty full.

    Re: Disk Defragmenter

    Another vote for Disktrix Ultimate Defrag - I used to use Perfect Disk, but not any more!
    Try to make each and every day the best it can be.

    Re: Disk Defragmenter

    Diskeeper

    I was worried about it's automatic background defrag eating up resources, but even mouse movement can cause it to stop o.O Which is good, of course!

    The only problem with diskeeper is the price - the best home version costs £99

    99.95 dollars on the US website
    49.95 dollars for the pro version - only difference is i-faast

    btw all - did you know the windows defrag tool is a cut-down version of diskeeper?
    can't speak for vista (spit! ) mind you.

    Re: Disk Defragmenter

    Technically they should not sell to you through the US website, since you skip local EU and UK taxes The UK website and amazon all give the outrageous price I quoted....

    I-faast is a good idea, it's just a shame that they priced it out of the market ¬.¬

    Disktrix is 20 quid, sometimes 10 (when on offer). Doesn't need to run all the time..

    Re: Disk Defragmenter

    I quite like perfect disk. Only $39.99 for a single license. When you click on buy from the UK site it takes you straight to the american one listed in dollars, so it should be 100% legit.
