Seems like a good amount of money in the garbage bin.
Like I said, I defrag everyday and everything is alright. :D




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

The great thing about diskeeper is the set it and forget it option. I set mine to screen saver so when my screen saver is running it's also defragging.

I like o&o, has all the set and forget thing, also defraging during screen saver mode, I prefer o&o over diskeeper though, plus i can set it how it shoudl defrag the datam like organize it by name, last modification or last accessed.


Atlthough, i dont see why MS couldn't just switch windows to a fragmentless file system, like OSX's or Linux's file system

I swear by Diskeeper, its a little more expensive than some, but its highly effective and highly customizable
