I used to use that one. For several years in fact. Now if I could only remember why I abruptly stopped... I don't recall anything bad happening... @Jon – thanks, I’ll have to give that one a look.

You can get a free evaluation download at the diskeeper site www.diskeeper.com if you want to play with it. If you want the 'free' ie the 'lite' version, you ought to head over to majorgeeks http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1207 Hi Chris,

Consolidates free space very well, even under low free space conditions. I like PerfectDisk for defragmenting. Consolidates free space very well, even under low free space conditions.

I'd never heard of it before! Will definitely give it a look. @Hoover - which Diskeeper are you using? There seems to be a few with the same name. Is there a "lite" or free version?

I still prefer Diskeeper for defragging. Diskeeper defrags faster and comes with a brilliant automatic defrag feature. Used Auslogics disk defrag once, not very impressed with the performance.

It's called the <a href="http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/" rel="nofollow">full-page test</a> tool.
