Diskeeper 2007 Pro Premier Review, by Ramon G. McLeod February 2, 2007
The version of Diskeeper I tested was not Vista-compliant (the company has since released Vista versions). Diskeeper Pro goes beyond Windows XP's built-in defragmentation capabilities. For example, it optimizes performance for specific applications based on how often you use them; this could be an advantage if, say, you primarily edit or view photos with the same one or two applications. This optimization effect could be neutralized, however, if Diskeeper Pro tries to optimize for a large number of applications that are used with equal frequency.
I've been using Diskeeper since the days of Windows NT, and I've never been disappointed. In my own, anecdotal hands-on experience, Diskeeper 2007 markedly improved my system's performance; I now get from my Windows XP log-in to a usable desktop in half the time it took before, and access times for some frequently used files (such as images displayed in ACDSee 7.0) showed noticeable improvement. I also like the new version's friendlier interface.
Diskeeper Corporation Software representatives told us that systems equipped with the latest version of the product should show performance gains on our WorldBench 5 benchmark tests, but we found no significant differences. (We did see some small changes in the results for individual applications in our test suite; these changes were likely due to the file's new placement on the hard disk drive, after Diskeeper performed its defrag). WorldBench 5 doesn't measure boot-up time.
The operating system support for Diskeeper 2007 Pro Premier includes Windows XP Home, Windows XP Tablet PC, Windows XP Media Center, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Professional x64, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Vista Enterprise.
An older system, highly fragmented from years of use, could see an improvement from Diskeeper Pro Premier. But with newer systems, your mileage and benefit from the software may vary. Though it won't solve all of your PC's pokiness problems, the $50 investment may be worth it. You can get a free trial version of this program from our Downloads library.

Duration of ownership: 1 Month
Strengths: Invisitasking and realtime defrag Really fast and thorough
Overall: We had been using the earlier version of Diskeeper on our servers with excellent results. After the new edition got released we installed them on a network of systems used for Video and Music editing. These have large storage drives which require frequent defragmentation. The highlight of the invisitasking seemed to be that it turns itself off and on as per the requirement of resources for the operations that run on the systems, defragmenting cant get any easier than this. I have to add that we have not had a problem with the DK defraggers to date and feel the price is worth it.

Strengths: Decent job of defragging
Weaknesses: Can not handle low free space situations.
Overall: On some workstations the product worked fine. However, we have several PCs that have low free space conditions and the product did not do as well with these. Needs at least 20% do work properly in our environment.

Strengths: Invisitasking/ On the Fly defrag
Overall: A system administrator, got the tool installed to work on workstations which were crapped down with fragmentation, the utility works like a charm, its really smooth. the defrags are clean and no hangups. Definitely better to set this on automated mode and forget about the scheduled tasks.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
