Norton Speed Disk or Diskeeper?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I was trying both programs on win2k and now on winXP and came to some conclusions. As always speed disk takes ages to complete, while diskeeper only a few minutes. Speed disk optimises the virtual memory by putting it in the beggining of the drive, while DK doesn't. My questions are:

- Does it worth it to have swap file in the beggining of the disk? (does it make any difference?).

- If the above answer is yes, then should i use speed disk for that purpose and DK for main defragging?(That is run speed disk every once and a while and use DK).

 

It's quite funny that on my laptop (running win98 se) after i defragged the drive using speed disk, i run DK analysis and it displayed a massive 25% of fragmented files, while speed disk was reporting none!confused

 

I know the differences between FAT32 and NTFS, but i've heared that it's good to defrag your NTFS every now and then, even if it's not as critical as running a FAT32 system.

 

Awaiting comments and suggestions.

Thanks for your interest reading this.
