best defrag software?

[sdadept]

anyone have any suggestions on good defrag software to get? it would be nice if it had a reg cleaner also.

Another vote for O&O.

I vote for O&O, but there is also Disk Keeper.

That is fine, but doesn't work as well as O&O

i started using JKDefrag

http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/

its freeware, GNU
under 300k

it uses the microsoft API for windows - which all 3rd party programs use - so why pay $20-100 for defrag software that does exactly the same since it has a "pretty interface" or takes up 20mb on a drive and uses 100mb of memory when running

I am going to give that a try.

Vista has a significantly improved defrag tool that is automatically run by the OS. Pretty solid implementation.

i stopped using 3rd party defraggers after all of them caused my system to not boot up one point.

PerfectDisk, above and beyond them all.

Interesting:

I have always used diskeeper, had never heard of O&O. How do they compare?

Another vote for PerfectDisk. Much better than any other defrag tool, in my opinion.

...just my random $0.02...
