Diskeeper

Originally, Diskeeper was developed for the VAX series of minicomputers and later for Microsoft Windows. The defragmentation program which is included with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is based on a basic version of Diskeeper.{{Cite web

}} Diskeeper 9.0 (for Windows 2000 and XP) Server Edition introduced Terabyte Volume Engine (TVE), which provides optimal defragmentation performance on volumes of 1 TB and larger. Diskeeper 2008 Professional introduced a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) compatibility mode, which defragments on a unit of 16 KB, so that VSS file history won't explode, invalidating cached old versions of the files.

In addition to resolving file system fragmentation, Diskeeper also prevents fragmentation before it happens by optimizing the process of data being written to disk.{{cite web

Another feature in Diskeeper is I-FAAST, or Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology. I-FAAST determines the frequency of file usage and the most frequently used files are then moved to the best portion of the disc. According to Diskeeper, this results in faster file access and also helps prevent future fragmentation of those files. The I-FAAST feature is available in Professional, Pro Premier and Server editions.{{Cite web
