Best Defragger for Windows?

[Spartan Erik]

What's the best defragmenter for Windows? I think Windows' default disk defragmenter isn't doing a good enough job.. anyone recommend anything better?

I would have to say Norton Speedisk part of Notron Systemworks....

hi
Try Using Diskkeeper Version 10.0.606 premier, Its is the best as per my knowledge. it is designed to monitor fragmantation and automatically defrage it if you set it & forget it mode.

Format... just kidding. I use O&O Defrag.

Yep Diskeeper 10 is the best:biggrin:

My two choices are PerfectDisk and Diskeeper. Basically most of the tools are good, but the choice is up to what you prefer.

The NT version of Windows Defragmenter is actaully one of the retail versions (though I can't remember what one) rebranded. It is considered one of the best tools unless you have a huge drive. Plus, fragmentation really isn't that big of a deal now days.

The Windows Defragmenter is diskeeper rebranded.

If defragmentation is your biggest concern and if you don't mind changing operating systems then switching to linux with ext2 or ext3 file system will be another way to work the situtation. Ext2/ext3 doesn't get affected by defragmentation as compared to FAT or NTFS.

The Windows defragmenter is an early, stripped-down version of Diskeeper.

And NTFS gets significantly slower when it doesn't get defragged (although this is from personal experience:biggrin: )

Yea i would use Diskeeper as this may use a few more resources than the Windows Defragger but it seems to do a better job compared to windows' version.
