Perfect Diskv v Diskeeper, Paragon v. Partition Magic, System Commander

[Chris F Clark]

I support the suggestions of the preious psoters. get a good defragger, the
native windows defrag is near useless. The best one i know at present is
Perfect Diskv 8 [by Raxco]

....

How does Perfect Diskv compare to Diskeeper? Is there any reason I
should switch?

Same question applies to anyone who knows about Paragon Disk Tools
compared to Partition Magic?

Same question in regards to some other boot manager compared to System
Commander?

I have Diskeeper, Partition Magic, and System Commander, but could
believe that there are better choices.

Partition Magic has compatibity issues for Windows Vista. I am being
told BootIt Next Generation is a better proposition and already
compatible with Windows Vista.

The best defragmenter is a GUI for the Sysinternals defragmenter.

Regarding XP (that's the newgroup), don't see any purpose in using PM if you
have SC. SC (versions that work with XP)comes with its own GUI operated
partition manager accessible at boot time that's compliant with NTFS type 3
and so forth. Its been said by many the Perfect Disk does a better job vs.
Diskeeper. But why change to another defragmenter for just a few more files
defragmented? XP seems more tolerant of fragmentation than prior versions
of windows. Can understand using the forum to learn of other products. In
your position, why bother?

Like many other products, you should try them out for yourself.
Diskeeper is a great product, improves file system performance and
does so without consuming vast amounts of system resources. The
really great thing is that you don't ever have to worry about manual
defragmentation.

Thanks,

Howard

If you're referring the SmartSchedule feature, that's the reason I dumped
Diskeeper. It kept trying to defragment a partition on a non-boot hard
drive that I maintain for image files/backup. I would remove the scheduling
for that partition, and would reappear sometime later doing the same thing
again. Image files should never be defragmented...

In particular regarding my previous response was geared toward the OP. The
OP already had Diskeeper, and was wondering about Perfect Disk. In which
case made no sense to me as the return on such minimal improvement over
Perfect Disk, if it exists, is hardly worth the monies invested.

In either case, I have no other problem with Diskeeper product. Nor have I
previously implied one, until you flouted an altruism about it, implying no
flaws. Its not perfect.

Here some features that I noticed when using defragmentation in
Paragon Partition Manager.
http://www.partition-manager.com/
First of all, there is a very small limit on amount of free space on
defragmentated partition, less than 5%. Second is ability to
defragment FS with a big cluster size. And the third one is a 99%
amount of files are defragmented (1% exception is for some files on
system partition such as swap-files, logs, registry)

Can understand using the forum to learn of other products. In
your position, why bother?

Because, I'm always looking for a better product. The tools I use:
System Commander, Diskeeper, Partition Magic, et. al. are all "good"
but each one could be better. And, there may even be tools that are
better than the ones I use in ways, I hadn't even imagined.

For example, I know Arconis has some interesting disk tools. If one
of their tools stood out, I would probably try it. I had a copy of one
of their tools once (disk editor?, perhaps), but it got lost in a
recent disk crash.

I would also try the paragon tools if someone said they were better
than what I was using.

Already, I have added "perfect disk" to my list of things to consider.
