Description:
As hard drives increase in size and complexity, their maintenance becomes more important--but also more difficult. Diskeeper 7.0 Workstation keeps defragmentation as simple and transparent as possible, permitting optimal performance for a small investment of time and attention. Installation is quick and painless, and while the main interface window harkens back to the days of Windows 3.1, it is intuitive and effective. Users who haven't been keeping up with their hard drive maintenance will find the initial defrag slow going, but the option to run it in the background will keep them happy. There is a slight slowdown in performance while Diskeeper is running, but it's rarely noticeable. The operation is surprisingly speedy and yields substantially improved performance, especially for large databases, multimedia, and other disk-space gobblers. Other features, like boot-time defragmentation of important files, are equally easy to use and deliver equally impressive results. Computer users who know they need to keep their hard drives sleek but don't want to spend a lot of time doing it will find Diskeeper a blessing. --Rob Lightner
