IntelliWrite Fragmentation Prevention
IntelliWrite is the ground breaking technology that prevents the majority of fragmentation from ever occurring, Rather then waiting for fragmentation to occur, IntelliWrite prevents fragmentation from occuring in the first place.

By default IntelliWrite Fragmentation Prevention is ON after you install Diskeeper.

Automatic Defragmentation Mode
In Automatic Defragmentation mode, Diskeeper works automatically in the background, with no negative performance impact on other applications that are running, improving the performance of your computer without slowing down other operations while doing so. For this reason, Automatic Defragmentation is the recommended method for keeping your computer running at its peak potential.

By default, Automatic Defragmentation is enabled on all your volumes when Diskeeper is installed. You can turn Automatic Defragmentation on or off based on a weekly pattern, or based on specific dates you choose.

I-FAAST - Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology
This feature is only available for NTFS volumes. FAT volumes are not supported. I-FAAST improves file access and creation on NTFS volumes by up to 80% (average 10%-20%) above and beyond the improvement provided by defragmentation alone.

Note that I-FAAST Defragmentation is only available when Automatic Defragmentation is enabled on a volume.

Boot-Time Defragmentation Overview

Boot-Time Defragmentation consists of three independent activities:
**Directory Defragmentation and Consolidation
**Paging File Defragmentation
**Master File Table (MFT) Defragmentation

PROS:
1. Requires least manual intervention after installation
2. Installer is not huge and installation was quick
3. Provides Graphical representation of all the activities- Easy to understand
4. Supports Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7
5. Help file is useful


CONS:
1. Interface is very confusing
2. Could have an option like Expert/Advanced view to show additional menus in the interface, thereby keeping the menu/interface clean
3. Quite costly
4. The background service eats up the CPU up to 99% at times.

Rules:
1. Minimum posts 5
2. Please let us know what do you currently use for defragmentation.
3. Anything you would like to see to be added to Diskeeper.
4. Install the trial version and post a screenshot of "System Performance Report".

Thanks for the giveaway!

I've read about Diskeeper - there's even reports it's been able to fix the dreaded "Volume Bitmap error" on XP hard drives!

Currently I use Perfect Disk 11. Sometimes I use Puran Defrag.

I can think of anything I want to see added to Diskeeper. It has stuff that others don't have like showing Performance status as well as File status on a drive and creating a boot-time defrag report (nice!)
