AUGUST 10, 2007 Diskeeper Pro Premier 2007 A friend sent me an article about Diskeeper Pro Premier 2007 and raved about how good it was so I contacted Diskeeper and requested the latest version. I explained that I had a Dell Dimension that was almost 4 years old that was used to run tests on software and hardware products and IT HAD NEVER BEEN DEFRAGED. The 250 Gig drive has 271,103 files on it. Many are tiny while others are large (12 Gig) video files. This would be a great test of the company’s claims. The software arrived the next day. It still took me two weeks to talk myself into installing it.
Remember I said Diskeeper could be set up and left to do its job. That is true. Most options are preset for their best use for the average user. If you want to fine tune this product you may wish to study the 91 page manual. At least take a look at chapters 1, 2, and 3. Otherwise just move around the Configure Diskeeper area in Quick Launch and you will pickup enough to get going.
Boot Time Defragmentation is another choice that helps you defrag files that cannot be moved safely while Windows is running. It gathers information and, when you restart your system, works on these files during the booting process. I gathered my courage and ran that option. All went well. I am sure there are many other options. I was pleased that Diskeeper is easy to use for a first timer. I liked the way it led me to areas that I had no idea needed attention and then showed me how to cope with those issues in plain language. Diskeeper Pro Premier 2007 works well and taught me a few things on the way. The system does run faster now. Diskeeper does not hog resources. And I never noticed it was running unless I was looking at the Dashboard. I have connected a Maxtor external drive to the Dell and Diskeeper is defragging away in the background. This is getting addictive. Diskeeper Pro Premium Edition lists at $99.95. There are various versions of Diskeeper available for home, business, and Government.
