Features
A new feature in Diskeeper 2007 is automatic defragmentation, an improvement over the previous scheduling functionality. Automatic defragmentation defragments files on-the-fly, using only idle system resource as needed. Colloquial usage In colloquial use on the fly means something created when needed Because of this, schedules no longer need to be setup and disk performance is kept at a higher and more constant level.
Another feature in Diskeeper is "Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology" (I-FAAST). When enabled, I-FAAST determines the frequency of file usage and the most frequently used files are then moved to the most optimal 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 Pro Premier and Server editions.
There are five versions available: Home, Professional, Professional Premier, Server Standard, Server Enterprise. Diskeeper Administrator is also available to manage Diskeeper options as well as perform advanced installations. Version 10 was the last version available for Windows 9x. Windows 9x is the family of Microsoft Windows Operating systems that comprises the hybrid 16/32-bit Windows versions Windows 95, Windows 98 After version 10, Diskeeper versions follow the year based naming convention, that is, 2007, 2008 and so on.
