[Defraggler extremely slow]

Hello.

I am doing a sort of research of freeware,trialware and e.t.c

So far i tested defraggler on diffrent situations and diskeeper on my friend's PC.

By this point i'm sticking with Deffraggler because it's simple and a bit faster.

 

BTW Can i download windows's disk defragmenter (because my copy came without it...)

I'm going to test some other programs too and let you know what i think

 

P.S. Some of my friends claim that after defragmenting with diskeeper they freed up some space on C: (about 6 GB) Is that possible?

 

Cheers.

was cursing (even censored) really necessary?

 

 

Uncheck delete only temp files older than 24 hours, run at admin permissions (Vista/Win7) or as an Administrator (XP)

 

don't defrag flash memory it's bad for it, proper Flash memory defragmentation method is: Copy everything off drive, copy everything back onto drive. On System harddrives more fragmentation is do to Windows (XP? and newer) creating Sysrestore points whenever ANY 3rd party Defrag is run (Much discussion on this already in the forum)

 

Turn off deep scan

 

searchs and works fine on all my portable media

 

Run in debug mode post debug results to recuva forum, what do you mean you feel it crashes? is this just a translation thing in your post?

 

 

how soon were they deleted? are other products (Disk Digger, Restoration, paid products) able to find them?

 

I do apprecitate this post though, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to address your comments

 

(I do not work or speak for Piriform or any other software maker)

 

Riight... So:

1. It's unchecked (Thanx anyway )

2. You may have got a point there,because the source which told me (a not*so*very*smart kid in my class) isn't reliable

3.It's off (but even if it was on shouldn't my pc handle it faster... i mean look at the specs ( most people in Bulgaria dream of this PC))

4.I got it to run by formatting her to FAT32 - helped a lot

5.How?

6.Not deleted, Formatted by my 6 year old cousin a week ago ( Parents don't listen about letting her on the PC ), yes, Recover my files.

 

Thanks for the fast reply anyway , That speaks great for the forum and future development

[Some Disadvantages of Piriform products picked up by me...]

Ok, What the f*** People...

I'm not into reviews on forums but dude... Let's start.

First I'd like to say that i'm pleased with piriform products but there are some disabilities:

 

CCleaner:

- Nice design

- Simple GUI

- Fast Cleaner

But... I'm noticing that most of the times i'm getting about 220MB Dump (I run CCleaner weekly) But when i Clean it disposes somewhat of the range 10 to 30 mb. Also The registry cleaner Gets Slow of a sudden if it gets more than 80 entries. The Perfect part is the removal tool Which is just great.

 

Defraggler:

Oh there's a lot to be written about...

- Good GUI again

- Device range support

- It's a good Freebie software

- No CPU drainer (which is the main advantage which I'm using it for)(and the fact that for some reason i don't have it on my Windows XP)

But the title isn't good... It should be called fraggler Because I'm actually getting more fragmented files (sometimes) 10-20% more... Mainly on defragging my portable HDD.

And using Defraggler i managed to defrag 1 Gb Sd card for 3:43 hours,whilist my friends pc (which has almost the same PC specs as me,which i'll mention later) Managed to defrag another 1 GB sd card using disk defragger for 7 Minutes...

And another thing, Too simple even for my mom and dad, I mean it absolutely doesn't have to be like diskeeper (Which sucks 10x *ss),Some advanced Options would be nice.

 

Speccy: Absolutely wonderful... Can't complain of it... Neither do anyone else i think.

 

Recuva:

Compared with some other freeware products... It's a guy's nightmare...

- Scans for about 6 hours a 80Gb Partition (c:)

- It doesn't cover many formats and for some reason can't search portable media

- From time to time I'm feeling that it does random crashes (Not giving any reason of somekind)

- Doesn't manage to find some of the pictures (specifically the 3 i were looking for)

- And Again has good GUI (which is good)

 

And finally my system specs are

Windows XP professional 32 bit SP3

CPU: Intel Pentium Core2 duo E6600 3.06 ghz

RAM:4 Gb

Video: Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT 1 gb

HDD: 1Tb Hitachi + 500Gb Mobile HDD LaCie

 

I'm not speaking hate towards Piriform, Just suggesting What they should Implement in their next updates on this software...
