Diskeeper

[Guest2]

I run and have been running Diskeeper for over a year now on all drives. Is it good practice to run something like this to keep the drives defragged, or is it bad for them in any way (reduce life etc)

This is diskeeper-

diskeeper is fine to rn on them asmany times as you want BUT NOT ON A SSD DRIVE

i used to use diskeeper until once i defragged the startup files (offline files) and buggered up the file structure and wudnt boot up. all i was left with was a black screen...

now i only use o&o defragmenter instead.

i've been using it for about 8 years without problems

Yeah, I too have been using Diskeeper for a few years now, and it's never given me any problems...works nicely on XP (and previously Vista).
