has anyone here tried both O&O Defrag Pro AND Diskeeper 8. i use O&O at the moment and just wondered if diskeeper is any better.

Is O&O's auto-sensing feature any better than the Set It & Forget It in Diskeeper?

I think Perfectdisk (www.rasco.com) is the best...
is was tested 6 months ago to be the fastest, and you will notice speedboost...
it has boot optimizations and all... its a nice small but strong program... prefer it above O&O

BTW Perfectdisk is really WAY faster then Diskeeper...

I've tried Diskeeper and & O&O. I liked O&O much better. More methods of defragging, and the interface seemed less kludgy, diskeeper reminded me of win3.11.

Also worthy of note that win2k3 will require the server versions of each.

I tried all of the three major defragment tools. The best among them is the o&o defrag v6.

Diskeeper PerfectDisk O&O Defrag
GUI
Best Good Better
Performance during defragmenting (Fastest)
Fast Fastest Faster
Space (less holes between files)
Good Better Best
Background (Defrag at background)
Yes No No

That is my result during my test. NOTE: "I don't really recommend o&o defrag it depends on you."

O&O and Diskeeper don't hold a candle to VoptXp. VoptXp is 10 times better and faster than both. Instead of just a defragmenter it's much more. It strategically places files for performance.

Don't believe it? Test your system with SiSoft Sandra or over at pcpitstop.com first. After you run a good hard drive test, run VoptXp one time and retest. You'll notice at least a 10-15% increase in speed.

Hi, everyone.
I saw quite many vote for diskkeeper.
But there is much argument against diskkeeper.
See http://www.download....4-10224681.html

Someone suggests me to wish Perfect Disk. It's because it can defragment well in a or a few passes which diskkeeper cannot.
See http://www.download....4-10262593.html

I personally haven't tested these products, so I don't know their effectiveness.

Yes, Mazin, I have used O&O. Every defragmentation tool I've used in the past just does that - defragments. VoptXp strategically places files for optimal performance. It places the most often accessed files at the beginning of the drive. Larger files serve precedence over smaller files as well and come before smaller files generally though not always.

winternals enterprise defrag is no.1 tool
just check the benchmarks ,it kills every other defrager out there
you can rip the dos files and run it from command line
its the fastest there is and the overall best for professionals
if you want gui go with diskeeper
