    Absolutely the best file defragmentation program, the only one of its kind that doesn't use WinNT defragmentation API which leaves thousands of holes in filesystem, because it moves files in 16K chunks. With Vopt you can defrag your FS once per half a year, with other defragmentators you have to do that constantly (say every week or every day).

    The only missing feature is offline defragmentation of system files like $MFT and others.

    vopt became a dinosaur and can't compete with "perfect disk" or "O&O".
    still rate it "3" for some of it's useful features.

    Lightweight, fast and good enough. Uses minimal resources when compared to PerfectDisk and Diskeeper and the choice of advanced and new users alike. Unlike PD, DK and OO, absolutely no dependency issues to deal with on heavily stripped and nLited systems. Multiple defragmentation sessions per day are not uncommon. Highly recommended.

    Reviewing 8.20 (Aug 14, 2007)

    I like this program, and have used it for years. However, the 8.20 version keeps shutting down whenever I start a Defrag on my Vista OS computer. I've sent an E-mail to Goldenbow telling them this. I've rolled back to 8.18 in the meantime which works great.

    Vopt is good enough for newbies (some of them outthere will allways remain newbie), DiskDefrag and O&O defrag has more to offer
