The Great Defrag Shootout
On April 26 2007 I embarked on my Great Defrag Shootout, a series of blog postings that eventually reviewed 15 commercial defraggers and 16 freeware defrag utlities for Windows. You can find all the reviews listed, plus an explanation of why defragmenting is necessary, and the winning programs: PerfectDisk 8 Professional and JkDefrag.

'''Best Commercial Defrag Program: Raxco PerfectDisk 8'''

The category is hotly contested, with stiff competition from O&O Software and Golden Bow but the Raxco product won for the following reasons:


 * PerfectDisk is easy to install and use, both for the novice and the power user;
 * The features are well integrated, and relevant;
 * The default method of organising files is well thought out and extremely effective;
 * The boot time defrag solves problems that many other defrag programs ignore; and
 * The overall performance improvement is well worth the cost of the software.

Any commercial environment not using this product is wasting money. I use it whenever my hard drive gets really messy.

'''Best Freeware Defrag Program: JkDefrag 3.25'''

I'm glad I found this utility. I thought that Contig was the best freeware defrag program, and I still use it heavily, but JkDefrag is a masterpiece, and for a cash-strapped small business I have no problem installing it on all the workstations.


 * It is simplicity itself to use;
 * It is fast and effective;
 * The file placement alogorithm is excellent; and
 * The screen saver option is logical and helpful.

The latest stable version can be found on my Defragmentation Utilities Page, in a simple setup program. Version 3.16 is stable, and version 3.25 works fine on my current system. My original review was version 3.8, and I have used it regularly since then, especially the screen saver component, which is awesome.

Disambiguation pages
Hello, Donn

I am writing in reference to one of your recent edits in Zero day disambiguation page. Just want to let you know that there are several things that are not allowed in a disambig page including pipes (when they hide original link title) and auxiliary links. Please consider studying MOS:DAB.

No including auxiliary links is very important: Wikipedia features some automated and semi-automated tools like DabSolver or Popups; auxiliary links throws these tools off their tracks.
