Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The beauty of Diskeeper is its simplicity. All you do is load it and schedule it to launch, and it keeps your computer running quickly without the need to manually defrag. The application is tremendously efficient, increasing our test computer's read time by more than 20 percent. The scheduler is flexible, allowing the program to run in the background according to your needs. For example, you can set it to start when your PC is idling in screensaver mode, or schedule it to run every day or only on weekends. Another bonus is that Diskeeper keeps your swap file at the front of the disk, which makes transferring information considerably faster.
Unfortunately, obtaining Diskeeper isn't as simple as using it. You must visit the publisher's site, fill out a form, then wait for an e-mail containing a link to the download. Also, it adds nearly four minutes to the boot process, although it doen't slow down any programs once they're in use. Still, the performance and functionality are superior to those of similar programs, and the user interface is intuitive. Diskeeper is well suited to users seeking better system performance and willing to pay a bit extra for the experience.

Version: Diskeeper 2007
Pros: ...if you have it, because at least it worked!!! Boot-time defrag works great but you only need to use it once...
Cons: 1)failed to load at start-up and had to be manually started twice... 2)manual defrag was slower than windows defragger... 3)had to reinstall twice and still couldn't get auto-defrag to work... 4)no response to my eMails... Discovered that DK 2007 has conflicts with some firewalls (XP & 3rd-party) because diskeeper has to contact the internet (loop-back) to auto-defrag, which is why I uninstalled DK 10 and won't be renewing my license.

Version: Diskeeper 2007
"diskeeper but not bootkeeper"
Pros: i like it when it run, perhaps it is the best, but.....
Cons: it take about 4 minutes to let your pc start when you boot it. the staf are going crazy? It's impossible for me to accept that my pc start after a long cup of tea. For me it 'is a very big bug for a software like that. Until they not resolve this problem for my the only place for the softaware is to rest in the cellophane. It's a mistake because the rest is superbe. I'm waiting for godd new to change my mind in 5 stars, but not now!

Version: Diskeeper 2007
Pros: One of the fastest defragmentation software available on the market.
Lots of option to customize.
Cons: 1: No update available for trial version of diskeeper(like updating from V11.0.706 to V11.0.709)
2: Diskeeper Pro Premier V11 does not throughly defrag your hard drive.
3: Too expensive for the pro premier as it's not worth this much since it does defrag your hard drive throughtly.

Version: Diskeeper 2007
"Best disk defragmenter & also optimize the system performance!"
Pros: First of all I'm currently evaluating the following version:
Diskeeper 2007 Pro Premier (11.0.703.0)
I don't know why some users reports slower boot times and problem with the program, (perhaps older versions?).
I always want to take the most of my computer, and one critical issue on Windows OS is the disk fragmentation.
I decided to try this program based on an advertisement, which lead me to diskeeper home page and read every single feature and white paper, and the 45 day evaluation demo make me give it a try.
The FragShield, InvisiTasking and i-faast patented technologies propose interesting features for better system performance and defragmentation.
(i-faast is only available on the pro premier version, and fragshield on the pro & pro premier version).
You don't need to worry about scheduling and configuring diskeeper, the default settings are configured so that diskeeper runs automatically on the background ALWAYS checking and defragmenting as needed.
Diskeeper developers states that invisitasking technology analyse the I/O request for the hard disk so that automatic defragmentation will not slow down performance and run as needed. and It's true !!! I have never noticed a single slow down on my Dell Latitude D620 (Centrino Duo 1.66 GHZ, 1 GB Ram, 80 GB HDD, Win XP SP2).
i-faast, as described by the developer is, dramatically boosts file access times through intelligent monitoring of computing patterns. Learns which files are needed most and greatly accelerates access and create times for faster overall performance. File access and creation can be increased as much as 80%, with average increases of 10-20%.
And after running diskeeper for a while it determined that my logical D drive will benefit for using i-faast and diskeeper automatically turned it on. Diskeeper reported a 18% of performance improvement and I really noticed that boost!
I've being using diskeeper for about 10 days and I can tell that the only thing I noticed is that my computer is performing better, faster and more stable.
Cons: I was tempted to give it a 5 star BUT the only cons is the price: $99.95 USD for the pro premier version, it is the only version that has the i-faast feature which is a must have to really gain more performance.
Pro version costs $49.95 USD and Home version $29.95.
And as i said earlier, pro premier is the version to go.
To bad it's really expensive the pro premier version.
