Diskeeper WORKS! January 30, 2004
DEW (Frederick, MD USA)
My pc was slowly dying...I spent days on Window's sites and every help site I could find to figure out what was wrong. I regulary run every maintenance tool there is and everything was fine, except for the 5 minute wait to open ie or any windows file--as long as I didnt do this, my pc worked great(??). I was locking up continuously, had plenty of memory (1gig) and more than enough harddrive (66%free). I run XP Professional and I was ready to toss in the flag and reformat the thing. Then I went to pcpitstop.com and ran their analysis and they suggested Diskeeper. Well I downloaded the trial version and gave it a whirl and an hour later my pc was cured. According to the Windows defrager my system was 0% fragmented...but Diskeeper said I was 46% fragmented. BIG difference! based on my now lightening like pc I will take Diskeeper over Windows defragger any day. Windows built in defragger cannot defrag the paging file--paging file NEEDS defragmenting. Maybe if you do not use your pc continuously or work in graphics daily you will never experience what I did and the other defragger is good enough--but if you are constantly having to reformat and start all over or you once lightening pc is now a snail....you just might NEED this product. Windows built in cannot do all it should. I highly recommend this product.
The Best Defragger On the Planet! April 3, 2004
Another reviewer (Jan. 15) stated that Diskeeper isn't much better than the built-in defragger that comes with XP. I totally disagree.Two of the most important files that need to stay defragmented in order to have the best hard drive performance are the MASTER FILE TABLE and the PAGE FILE. The XP defragger doesn't defrag either of these. These files are constantly in use by Windows and if they're fragmented, you'll have poor hard dirve performance -- no matter how fast your hard drive is. This software is awesome! Especially the SCREEN SAVER option. Set this option and your hard drive will be defragmented every time the screen saver comes on. There's no loss of CPU time while your using the computer. My only complaint is that the Pro version costs more than the Home version. Take my advice -- GET THIS SOFTWARE! You won't regret it.
Very fast June 1, 2004
breno4 (SPARKS, NV United States)
I use this program over my Norton Speed Disc and WinXP defragger. It is faster and seems more accurate. I did try to install Disckeeper 8 on my Laptop running WinXP Media edition but got a box saying it is not approved for this and it would not download. The previous version seems to work okay with Media however.
A "Must Have" June 7, 2004

I first found out about Diskeeper because from my job. I am working in IT at a well known pharmaceuticals company, and do several tasks. Right now, one of them is to build the hard drives of new computers. We use a slightly different version that is controlled through one of our servers, but the Porfessional version works basically the same, just minus the server. We use Diskeeper because our users don't want too and are not allowed to defrag the hard drives (we use XP Pro and it requires you be an administrator to defragment the hard drive) so we have Diskeeper on all the computers (we have over 500) and it just works in the background doing its thing. It does the same with my home computer too. I really just don't even think about defragmenting and so it is nice to know it will do it without my thinking. You could just leave you computer on, but one of my computer is in my bedroom, and the noise is not something I can sleep with during the night.
If you value performance... July 4, 2008

Diskeeper is very valuable for optimizing the Windows file-system, which is notoriously bad and degrades at a rapid clip as you load software and work with data. Seriously, you cannot believe it.
Unix doesn't have these issues, but neither does it have the apps home users want. It's a cheap investment in keeping your PC running very well, along with Anti-Virus, and Anti-Spyware.
