Diskeeper is an automatic disk defragmenter that features scheduling and a high level of configuration ability, and can defragment even critical system files. Fragmentation occurs during normal Windows operation, as files are broken up in pieces and saved on different parts of the hard disk. This increases the amount of time it takes to access single files, and bogs down system performance.

    The only thing more corrupt than the code that went into this thing is my hard drive after running it. I'll stick with mst Defrag. It's far cheaper, and it works great. And as far as I know, the author isn't a proselytizing religious nut.

    Reviewing Diskeeper 2010 Premier Pro v14.0.909.0 on Windows XP SP3 (32bit/x86)

    I've been a user of mstDefrag for the last 3-4 years and have also used O&O Professional, PerfectDisk, myDefrag, UltraDefrag, and Defraggler but I think this is the best.

    Advantages:
    1. The automatic defrag and proactive defrag prevention actually work (unlike other programs that claim to do it) set it and forget it.
    2. Ability to defrag Windows system files, boot files, and Hard Disk MFT.
    3. Quite fast at a full manual defrag compared to others I have used.
    4. Lots of options, features, and config settings.
    5. Noticeable increase in system performance.

    Disadvantages:
    1. Bloated GUI.
    2. Memory usage on the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) [which facilitates the automatic defrag etc] is 52,000k+ regardless of whether program is running or not. The program itself (mmc.exe) takes around 16,000k when running.
    3. The "Volume Health and Recommendations" are well off the mark, and overly sensitive.
    4. Troublesome to activate.

    I am not an expert by any means, just thought I would share my thoughts.

    Diskeeper is running a special for $10 off Diskeeper 2010 Professional edition for Memorial Day. With this release they are taking a proactive approach by preventing the fragmentation up front. Great product. http://bit.ly/ayd2e0

    Bloated, overpriced, intrusive piece of junk.
