PerfectDisk vs Diskeeper
- Thread starter nunzeo
- Start date
Hopefully those aren't database servers, such as SQL or Exchange! I like Diskeeper.

Personally, I have run both,,, at the time I used Perfect disk, Diskeeper was superior. At this point, it is likely a draw.
Diskeeper's comparison
Roxio comparison
Report by Roxio, could be easily slanted
Forum discussion....
Off topic...
More important than fragmentation with large capacity raid arrays....
consistency checks, which primarily is concerned with parity checking
patrol reads (background scrubs)... more important than CCs, as it checks the media surface for errors, particularly of importance it checks the unused area of the disks, which raid adapters do NOT check until writing to arrays, which is often the cause of multiple, simultaneous, disk failures, when more errors are found then the array adapter can handle. This is a major issue with large capacity arrays.
This Intel article points out the issue, refers to raid 6 but is pertinent.

Just to add to 58sniper's post...
I run Diskeeper on multiple SQL servers, no issues; even run boot time defrags on the servers, no problem.
