Defrag utilities for NTFS

Do your know third party defrag utilities to be used under NTFS (other than what is available in Symantec and McAfee packs)?
 
If I'm not mistaken (which I usually am for some reason. 😛 ), Diskkeeper Lite was used for NT 4.0. Heh. I think it was b/c Microsoft couldn't make a better defragger themselves. LOL.
 
Diskeeper Workstation is the one to have, I have been using it for about 6 months and am very happy with it. It's very quick compared to Windows standard defrag utillity. Although Win XP uses a cut down ver of diskeeper it does not have all the options likwe the full ver.

actually i believe it was used in Win2K.. NT 4.0 doesn't have a defrag util that I'm aware of.

See? I'm going the 0-fer today. It's time to call it a night and take some aspirin.

I've just been pounded today. 😛

happens to everyone from time to time.. have a few beers and you'll forget all about it 😀


 
Back in the NT 3.5x and 4.0 days, Microsoft's official party line was that due to the design of NTFS, data never becomes fragmented, thus no defrag utility.

It's wasn't even a GOOD lie was it? Come on MS you can do better than that! 😉
 
Believe or not, see what M$ states: The Disk Defragmenter tool is based on Executive Software's full retail version of Diskeeper.

See with your eyes here.
 
I used to use Diskeeper, then switched over to O&O Defrag.

Has a lot of customization options and is very fast (depending on what type of defrag you do).
