[XP or 2K3]: O&O defrag or..

Recommended Posts

Under XP Pro (or XP 2K3)

 

which is the least problematic defrag tool OTHER than the native service. I currently use O&O defrag. I especially enjoy the stealth mode defrag. (defrag while playing intensive video games or the like)

 

 

what do you use and why?

 

 

TIA

I don't use anything. I just buy a faster computer when things start to slow down laugh

I've only used Norton Speedisk as it comes with Systemworks. I've also used the native defrag too which is a lite/oem version of Diskkeeper wink

I use DISKEEPER. I used O&O but, IMHO, DISKEEPER was faster. The background (i guess stealth mode) defragging kicks @$$.

I use DISKEEPER SERVER ENTERPRISE EDITION for my WIN2K3 computer and DISKEEPER PROFESSIONAL for my WINXP-PRO computer.

I had this debate with a PERFECT DISK (Raxco Software) employee here and he got pretty "hyper". I'm just a consumer who *does* try different programs before he opens his mouth. Here's the thread, it's hilarious:

Actually, it wasnt' much of a "debate". We barely got started before you stopped participating.

 

You had made a claim that PD didn't stand up to DK. I had asked you to elaborate and you never responded.

 

If you would like to continue our "debate", it's your turn smile

Get a life dawg. Sell your ish elsewhere. Whatever you want ish to stand for, knock yourself out... literally.

I ain't in to 'internet' beef - 'nuff said.

Too bad. I was really interested in hearing of your perception of why PD didn't "stand up" to DK.

 

What did you end up paying for Diskeeper Enterprise Edition? When I bought it for testing/comparision purposes, it cost me $1,000.00 Pretty steep for a defragmenter!
