[edit] Features

The major new feature in Diskeeper 2007 is Automatic Defragmentation. Automatic Defragmentation defragments files on-the-fly, there is no need to schedule a time to defragment as InvisiTasking(TM) technology automatically handles defragmentation with idle resources.

Another feature in Diskeeper 2007 include I-FAAST 2. According to Diskeeper Corporation, this feature serves to evaluate IDE, SATA, SCSI and RAID hard drives based on a series of benchmarks. When enabled, I-FAAST determines the frequency of file usage. Diskeeper's defragmenting behaviour then changes according to file usage to accelerate the most frequently accessed files. A specific defragmentation job is scheduled dedicated to moving files according to their frequency usage. This also helps prevent future fragmentation. The I-FAAST feature is available in Professional Premier, Server and Administrator versions only.

There are six versions available: Home, Professional, Professional Premier, Server Standard, Server Enterprise and Administrator. Diskeeper recently released Diskeeper 2007 for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
