Theoretically this could be a wonderful program, giving you great control over the optimization process. However, a whole variety
of its default settings were idiotic and would have helped to de-optimize any disk.
So, thankful to have noticed that and not just gone ahead with a defrag on default settings, I changed the settings for an Auto
defrag to be at least reasonably powerful in optimizing my C drive containing Win Vista and a lot of application and utility
software.
The result? Nearly all the files that could be moved, including virtually all those which were coloured to indicate their being
fully defragmented, were moved to the *innermost* tracks, and a fair number which had been placed in middle tracks, I suppose by
Windows, were left there. Then the defrag hung at 50%, when it was claiming to have started a 'consolidation' defragmentation. I
stopped that defrag, and then out of curiosity ran it again. This time, some of what had been moved to the innermost tracks was
moved to the middle tracks, but nothing to the outside tracks. And then 'Ultimate' Defrag went into 'consolidation
defragmentation' and it became clear that again it had more or less ceased functioning. That time, when I clicked on Stop, the
program hung on 'Stopping', and eventually I had to exit it and risk some disk corruption.
If Ultimate Defrag worked properly and did exactly what is claimed of it I would welcome it with open arms and kick Diskeeper off
my system, for it doesn't put least-used files on the innermost tracks, where they really need to be for best performance. But at
least Diskeeper is reliable and puts everything that it can move at all reasonably up-front, which is much better than Ultimate
Defrag moving what it could to inner (lower performance) tracks.
