Good Disc Defrager?

[iMartin]

My "volume" says it's in critical need of a defragmentation, but the default Windows defragger always freezes and takes forever, so does anyone know a good defragger?

O&O Defrag Professional

Diskeeper

diskeeper. perfect disk is good too, but slower

O&O Defrag Professional or PerfectDisk. NO OTHERS.

Diskeeper! Works wonders here.

Allows automatic defrag for people who keep the pc on all the time. Keeps it fast all the time! :D

[iMartin]

Diskkeeper sounds good, I'll give it a go.

diskeeper is my favorite but i did switch to, and don't plan on switching back any time soon, to O&O defrag because it has a lot more options for different typed of defragments and stuff. gives more info too.

there are a lot of suggestions in my pinned guide. ;)

I rarely ever do it, but I just use the windows one.
too much trouble getting an app just to defrag.
they're never that bad anyway.

Diskeeper works pretty well but if you have a slow machine then don't waste your time with the auto defrags.

Diskeeper.

[fred devliegher]

O&O Defrag pro.

Infinitely better then the Windows one.

I personally use Diskeeper, but any of the three thats been mentioned are good

slow...doesn't use good techniques all it does is unfragment the files whille others will optimize where they are stored for faster opening\better organization.

and crono said it always freezes.

While I use diskeeper , you might want to shut down programs running in the back ground .The boot defrag seems to work wonders the first few times aswell. :)

if i don&#39;t defrag for a week it still only takes 20mins to defrag. windows seems to optimize as far as i can tell. and as for the freezing...that usually means a format is needed. that&#39;s what i do, but by the time mine freezes other things r usually f&#39;ed up be4 hand. so a format is welcome. :01:

[sparsely]

there are some section, though, that windows defrag won&#39;t bother with...like your boot sector.
I used to use an Ontrack defrag, and it would organize your files on your drive by modification frequency, etc.
pretty good...I just can&#39;t be bothered to install/use it anymore :P

"DisKeeper" is best

[tracydani]

I use Diskeeper as well. Once you install and set up, just leave it in the background and never think about it again:)

I do the Diskeeper Boot Defrag once a month.. keeps startup at it&#39;s peek.

You can also decrease start times by disabling your splash screen in xp.
