    best defragmenter

    as stated above, what do people use and what do people think is a quick and effective defragmenter. I've been using Diskeeper but it's a couple of years old now, so wondering what the benefits are for a newer program, if any?!

    Re: best defragmenter

    I quite like UltimateDefrag - and they've made the old version free (UltimateDefrag Freeware Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com) which is nice. It's a very subjective thing but I prefer something that doesn't run as a service/all the time with lots of options to play with.

    I use the latest edition of Diskeeper (2008, Pro) and am really happy with it. It's very effective, yet easy to use, unintrusive (background defrag) and defrags using idle resources. Highly Recommended. You can also get the free demo versions from the DK site if you want.

    Use a file system that doesn't fragment so horrifically.

    Oh wait...

    I guess the only way you'd get that is to have defragmentation built into it, right?

    Re: best defragmenter

    I took the plunge for UltimateDefrag and on XP it was good, however on vista 64 bit its utter toss, doesn't actually defrag anything so its riddled with bugs.

    JKdefrag does the job until UltimateDefrag get their 2008 version working

    Works for me - or are you thinking about the volume shadow copy files that won't move?
