Defragmentation (or defragging) is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems. It does this by physically reorganizing the contents of the disk in order to store the pieces of each file close together and in order (contiguously) - this is the definition of defragmentation found on Wikipedia. The process of defragmentation is run by a piece of software called the defragmenter...
The reason I am mentioning defragmenters is that PerfectDisk released new build (63) of its 8.0 version. By exploring the internet I came to conclusion that Perfect Disk is just a little bit ahead of Diskeeper but Diskeeper seems to be more user friendly and is really hard to conclude which one was better. There is important to mention the existing of Nortons' SpeedDisk and O&O Defrag which are also fine software applications.
There is also a defragmenter that is built-in windows but it is much slower and worse than mentioned ones. But on the other side - it is "built-in", so it is actually free.
If you are a big defragmentation addict like I am :) - buy yourself a professional defragmenter, they all cost less than $50...
Buy O&O Defrag now!

Defrag addict i sure am. Only after i started using Diskeeper on my near dead system that was totally fragged and loaded with crap. The performance improvement is very tangible, and i dont agree with the arguments that defragging doesnt help. I have tried out the other defraggers u've mentioned, dislke Norton, tried PerfectDisk, but hooked to Diskeeper, way above the rest. Check out the newest version, its superlative.
Thanks for your comment!
My trial version to new Diskeeper has just expired :(. I've been using it for 30 days and can't say any single thing against it. It runs very fast and is very reliable.
I'll install Perfect disk trial and try it for next 30 days and I'll try to make a comparison of these two...
