|  Your Preferred Disk Deframentation Software I'm looking for a good program to buy/download to defrag my hard drive. I used to use a free version of one of the popular defrag programs. I forgot what it was called. So what do you use and why?   I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 | ||||||||||||||

| To be honest, I use Windows' defrag utility. I know that sounds lame, but I haven't had any problems with it on my current rig. I'm going to be looking for a Linux defrag program soon. I haven't started looking, but I don't there were any installed when I installed Linux.  | ||||||||||||||

| I use Diskeeper. I like the set it and forget it option that lets you schedule defrag times or use a screensaver mode to keep the disc defraged.  | ||||||||||||||

| I've only ever used windows disk defragmenter, but I get the feeling that maybe I should be using something else? Never had a problem with it so far though...

Microsoft Support Link: Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000 include a tool for disk defragmentation. The Windows Disk Defragmenter tool is a limited version of the Diskeeper program from Diskeeper Corporation. Disk Defragmenter does not include all the features available in the full version of Diskeeper. | |||||||||||||||

| As long as the defragmenting engine (or whatever) is good, then I'm not worried. I could care less about automatic defragmentation and such.

| The engine is 'okay,' but dated by several versions, especially with today's hard drives. Also, Diskeeper (and similar programs) bring quite a bit more to the table than just convenience oriented features. For example, click on the feature comparision chart link on the right hand side ---> LINK | ||||||||||||||
