Windows Home Server defragmentation with Diskeeper 2008

By Mauricio Freitas, in , posted: 6-NOV-2007 13:09

I think there are lots of interest in the defragmentaion topic - my previous post on Windows Vista Defragmentation gets hundreds of reads every day.

Now that Microsoft Windows Home Server is readily available people will have to manage massive amounts of data - including file fragmentation on very large drives.

I have previously suggested people use Diskeeper on Windows Vista (I use it on my Windows Vista laptop, and on my Windows Server 2003 machine) - and now they have just released Diskeeper for Windows Home Server, a version of its disk defragmention software completely integrated with the Windows Home Server console as you can see in the screenshot:


I am running this now on my WHS box with about 1.7 TB and it seems to be doing a good job - the integration with the WHS console is the key thing, so you can manage it from any PC you have on your network.

Diskeeper Pro 2008 trial version is running on my desktop (Win XP Pro SP2) and it's an excellent defragmenter. From the specifications, the WHS seems to be even better! If things go well, I should have a WHS setup at home by Christmas...and Diskeeper will find a place on it too.
