Diskeeper 10 Pro Premier question

[ryansebiz]

I just got Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier and wondered what settings I should try.

My setup is dual 74GB Raptors in Raid 0 as the C: System Drive and a 300GB Maxtor as the F: Storage Drive (mainly for video).

Right now my settings for both are the same:

1. Primary Defrag every 24 hours from 2am-12 noon.

(I had this set to Smart Scheduling but the Raptors got a little noisy with it running in the background, even with the Very Low CPU Utilization option on.)

2. I-FAAST Defrag (C: System Drive only) every Sunday from 2am-12 noon).

(Should I increase this to daily? Or will it wear too much on the system? Also, should I enable this for the F: Storage Drive as well?

If anyone out there has Diskeeper experience and wouldn't might helping out a new user I'd appreicate it.

Thanks in advance.

what are you doing that requires you to defrag so much?

you have a good point/questions. I use DK10 for a while now...and also after a lot of research i didnt find answers to what the best settings are, especially for i-faast. I experimented with "daily"..and with "weekly"....bbut discovered that with i-ffast/weekly it often "skips" the schedule for some reason and then sets the next schedult to next week....so i always end up doing the i-faast manually or put in on "daily".

i have my primary on screensaver. I really dont like DK kicking in constantly especially when i am gaming..and screensaver seems to do a good job.

i also think DK support is very bad, i really didnt see any forums or anything the like for it.

I'm not really sure what the "best" settings are. But I have been a long time diskeeper supporter, and version 10 is the best yet. This thing keeps my computer running at its best.
