|  Defrag Software
I am looking at buying a third party defrag program and there are three that I am looking at, can you give me your input, pros, cons, good, bad, ugly.
Here they are: Diskeeper PerfectDisk 2008 Professional O&O Defrag 10 Pro
Thanks

Hey PreacherMan,
Welcome to Tech-Forums!!!
I've used O&O too, and I have nothing bad to say about it. It works, and it's better than Windows' default defrag program.

I have Diskeeper on my desktop and O&O on my laptop. Both work perfectly. Like Trotter said, it's nice to have 0% fragmentation all the time. The windows defrag will leave some fragmented files. O&O and Diskeeper don't.

I like O&O it is great. But Ashampoo Magical Defrag is also worth mentioning.

I used Diskeeper and it has never failed to provide me with stellar performance. I actually liked it enough to purchase it, but O&O is also nice. I'd vote for Diskeeper though.

I use Diskeeper. That's 3 for Diskeeper and 3 for O&O.

Why not have just one, and if you were to have just one which one would it be?
