Iobit smart defrag vs o&o defrag pro

<< < (3/4) > >>

masu:
currently I use Auslogics Defrag, which do a good job

bugis:
Diskeeper 2008 Pro for me! :up:
Easiest to use, and most 'invisible', yet delivers great results.

Darwin:
I use PerfectDisk 2008 on two machines (Win 2k and XP Pro) and Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier on a third (Vista) and I am happy with both products. I keep meaning to compare the resource consumption and effectiveness of both, but haven't done so in ages (did with earlier versions of each). Main beef with Diskeeper: it's much more expensive and with the latest version they've changed licensing to one machine vs. three for PerfectDisk. Diskeeper would cost $99 per machine whereas PerfectDisk is three for $39.95...

I wouldn't recommend that.

Sure, if you have enough free unfragmented disk space, you will end up with defragmented files... but since contig (afaik, anyway) doesn't do any "big picture planning", your filesystem won't be compacted, and new files will thus quickly become fragmented. It's a great tool for defragmenting individual files, though :)
