I need some opinions for PerfectDisk, O&O Defrag Pro and Diskeeper.

Please give me a comparison from the LATEST versions of the 3 above. I need opinion from someone who HAS TRIED ALL 3 of them (if possible latest editions, or a few revisions before, please).

My current defragger is Diskeeper, though I am thinking of migrating to PerfectDisk.

please persuade me to do so, with proof. Thanks!

Cheers to all!

i tried perfectdisk & diskeeper, both r equally good i would say as normally after defragged with either one, i will analyze using windows default defragger and it shows data are well-defragged on both, the percentage is comparable. however, i chose perfectdisk coz it is much much lesser intergration in windows system files. on the other hand, diskeeper is quite bloated to me and i feel uncomfortable with its "heavy" intergration in windows system & registries.

if i am not mistaken, diskeeper is actually the maker of the original windows defragger...
i using diskeeper now... works very well, set it to defrag during screen savers.. saves a lot of time

Thanks a lot. I did a bit of research before posting the previous post, I got the same answer as yours. So, I wanted assurance that PerfectDisk WILL NOT corrupt my HDD. It is very precious.

Yes. Microsoft bought the "license" to integrate an older version of Diskeeper into its XP Defragger Program.

I don't dare to put my HDD at a risk of total corruption. And, I no longer have time to do software testing and comparison (I used to do that for Security Software Combinations).

Thanks to all the comments. Will be scheduling a migration soon...

Added on September 15, 2007, 5:02 pmMigration complete. PerfectDisk 8 Pro is definitely better than Diskeeper 10 Pro.

There was a catch though, I had to let PD run almost 8 passes before there was almost 0% fragmentation. (In DK, 8 passes wouldn't make a single difference. So, PD 8 passes is worth it

)

Cheers to all!

P.S. I am so happy now!!

I have no idea which is the best disk defragment software. I have read CHIP magazine and they review O& O Defrag 8 as the best one with good tuning effect.

hi all, someone recommended jkdefrag @ http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/529531 , the size is only <400kb, yeah, i tested it (gui version), the outcome is promising, after defragged, the fragment is 0 to 1% (analyzed with windows defragger and perfectdisk).

i'm using Power Defragmenter and satisfied with it. it's quite small in
size but i like the fact that it's not bloated and it's free.

I was oo defrag user before but since i found out jkdefrag, i dumped oo defrag and switched to jkdefrag till now..reason is simple..jkdefrag is open source and has more options for defragment method/algorithm that oo defrag has and plus, the program dev is approacable and opened for new ideas and users opinions and critism..the only downside that i see with jkdefrag is that its ugly gui..but that's not the issue here..we're talking about which defragger softwares do its job better..

i'm using d built in disk defragmenter that comes with windows XP. Is it not good? I thought defragmenting means defragmenting,do those third party programs do more?
