In this installment, we'll be taking a look at the popular defragmenter from Diskeeper—Diskeeper 2008. First, let’s read what Diskeeper Corporation has to say about their product. Then, I'll tell you what I think about their statement. Okay, Diskeeper first.

With the release of Diskeeper 2008, a new era has begun in the way IT Professionals will maintain their systems for optimum performance. For the first time ever, you can regain and maintain a blazingly fast level of performance on PCs, laptops and servers, and for the entire life of the system. Diskeeper 2008 with InvisiTasking eliminates problems IN REAL TIME as they occur, without the need for scheduling and without EVER interfering with valuable system resources. Whether it’s the largest corporate network or a small business,

Diskeeper 2008 sets an entirely new standard in performance and reliability. With Diskeeper 2008 there is never a need for scheduling or administrator supervision—just install and the software automatically takes care of the rest. It’s really that simple. Get it now and your systems will never be the same again!

InvisiTasking is the foundation for Diskeeper to eliminate fragmentation in real time without affecting system resources or intruding on system demands.

* Exclusive! Real-time defragmentation automatically handles fragmentation as it occurs, providing maximum system performance at all times!

* NEW! Complete file and free space defragmentation in the most extreme of conditions— even if your systems have only a one or two percent of free space left available or a file in millions of fragments, Diskeeper 2008 can restore lost performance and save the applications reliant on those files from major reliability failures.

* NEW! “Defragmentation Intelligence” enhancements—Diskeeper’s logic controller, which detects various volume and system conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm, has been re-designed to deliver performance benefits faster and more efficiently.

* NEW! Frag Shield 2.0—boosts reliability and availability by automatically preventing crash-inducing fragmentation of critical system files.

* NEW! Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Compatibility mode—only Diskeeper 2008’s new VSS-compatible mode affords you the ability to leverage the data protection of VSS and the performance and reliability of automatic defragmentation.

* NEW! Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks (DPAN)—the agent-less performance analysis technology gets a full update and tight integration within Diskeeper 2008 Administrator Edition. Now you can get real-time performance metrics (on machines not running Diskeeper) with high-level visual graphs and detailed fragmentation data on-demand or emailed automatically.

* I-FAAST 2.0 (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology) automatically boosts access speeds for the most commonly used files.

* Terabyte Volume Engine 2.0—Powerful defragmentation for high capacity and high traffic servers with disk volumes containing hundreds of thousands to millions of files (e.g. NAS, RAID, and SAN). Also allows unobtrusive and thorough free space consolidation on busy 24/7 servers.

* Automatic online directory consolidation boosts antivirus scans and back-up speed.

* Native 64 bit operating system support.

* Boot-Time Mode safely performs Microsoft�-recommended defragmentation of critical system files.

* Power Management for Laptops prolongs battery life by suspending background defragmentation while on battery power.

Now it's my turn.

Friends, I'm very familiar with this product—I've used it for about 4 years, on Windows XP and Windows Vista Ultimate. Please understand, I'm a professional software developer, and a fast, efficient computer helps me accomplish my work in much less time.

When I first downloaded the trial version I was very skeptical. But after using it for a week, I decided I'd never have another system without this system tool running on it, full-time. I found it cut certain work tasks of mine by 25% to 35%.

Aside from being a hardware genius, my son is also an avid gamer, especially with a couple of online games. He heard me mention how Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premium had helped my computer function so much better, so, he asked me to buy him a copy and install it on his game machine.

A short time after I installed it on his machine, he called me and asked me to come back to his room. When I did, I saw he was playing one of the online games. I had watched him play this game before, and he was aware of this. Without saying much, he began playing his game again while I watched. The game really ran faster with Diskeeper doing its work in the background. So, fellow gamers, don't forget Diskeeper after you've got your awesome gaming system together! I think you'll be very happy you did.

And, for all the rest of us, it might be a good idea to read the advertisement from Diskeeper Corporation again—it's true!
