How does diskeeper compare to Perfectdisk?

[imported_goku]

I've been using diskeeper for quite a while and while it's good, I've always heard positive things about perfectdisk as well. One thing that seems apparent with perfectdisk is the fact that it doesn't address folder fragmentation, no?

just go to sysinternals and get contig.exe - freeware and does an excellent job.

Diskeeper does a terrible job at consolidating free space.

i am evaluating DK10 right now, especially what their new i-faast technique does. Otherwise i am a big PD supporter, but i just want to give DK a chance for a few days w/ DK10.

Be sure and get the PowerDefragmenter frontend for it as well.

PD shows exactly (in NTFS) where all the elements are in relation to one another. Disk keeper's graphic metaphor is impossible to figure out - tiny bars inside of larger bars - what a mish mash!

PD is also faster and does a better job of handling system defrags on reboot.

That's appropriate then seeing as how the whole defrag industry is practically selling snake oil with a dash of placebo.
