It's blatantly oblivious to any activity on your computer, such as 3d gaming, intensive video editing, etc. It basically is a 3-5 hour timer, running DK every 3 or 5 hours. Who wants to defrag every day? Well, DK fans will say 'Use the Set-it-and-forget-it-mode." It is recommended that you defragment daily to keep your hard drive in this state." Listen to DK's instructions: "Your hard drive has 0 fragments. ![]() I do not recommend this at all! SmartPlacement helps keep your hard drive defragmented, so you have to defrag less frequently. In the 'defragmentation strategy' dialog under a drive's properties, choose 'Defragment Only' versus 'SmartPlacement'. IF there wasn't enough space to do this, then DK shrugs its electronic shoulders and gives up If a jumble like this occurs, DK just drags one of the files into the free space and puts it there. These files may be in any order, so your documents could be fragmented around your DivX movies, etc. IF JUST ONE OF THESE ARE LYING AROUND, THEN YOUR HARD DRIVE IS HORRIBLY FRAGMENTED!Ĭontiguous files: These files are just non-fragmented files, in a huge blue block. This way, they get accessed quickly, plus the HD doesn't need to jump around, the files are in order.ĭiskeeper breaks files into categories, too said by DK's Categories:įragmented Files: NOOOOO THESE FILES ARE EVIL. PD reads this file, then sorts the files in order at the beginning of your hard drive. Your Storage Files: Huge files that are usually not modified/accessed, such as DivX movies, etc.īootup Files: Each time XP starts, it will write down the order which it loaded every file required from the logo screen to 1 min after login. Your Applications: Also called Frequently Accessed Programs, these guys usually don't change. Just give them a little space to grow/shrink, and keep them away from everything else. However, since they are so small, quick access is no biggie. Your Documents: (Frequently Modified) They change very frequently, and the area grows quickly. In PerfectDisk, every file is broken into categories, such as: A very welcome and surprising thing in this day of worse and worse support (even from sources such as Dell which did have outstanding support as did Symantec before they outsourced to India).Įxplanation to DK's Speed enhancement vs PD: said by PD's breakdown: Free phone support and they are just fantastic, very professional and the support, even by email, is so fast and so good and thorough that you can hardly believe it. Executive Software has OUTSTANDING tech support. I would never recommend any Symantec product to anyone because tech support sucks as it is now in India. I do think that Diskeeper Lite is better for W98SE because it does not run in the background using up resources which is an important consideration in non NT based OSes. (Now, I realize that is just one magazine's opinion, but I do have respect for that particular magazine and value it's opinions.others may not).ĭiskeeper can be scheduled to run when you want and not to use the "set it and forget it feature". Perfectdisk got nothing as far as I recall. Diskeeper Home edition just won the Editor's Choice and the 5 star award from PC magazine in June 2003. I will definitely be using Diskeeper 7 when I get a new computer that has XP. Says there is never enough fragmentation for it to need to run! Absurd. ![]()
