Download the trial version (30 days) and run it through the paces.

You can have it run automatically 24x7 or however you like: you choose
the hours it will run and not run. When it's running, you won't even
know it.

You can also run it manuall only, if you like.

It's great.

Diskeeper does manual defrag. If you are looking for bells and whistles then go for some other one. Diskeeper is the best defragmenter available

Peter says and I quote "Diskeeper is the best defragmenter available"
That is your opinion Peter and rightfully so, but would you care to
elaborate a little more as to why you believe it's the best?

Some interesting links if you type in Google " Diskeeper vs Perfectdisk
I find this one interesting as a Rep from both sides have posted here.

Boot Time Defragmentation: it had problems with SP1 and is currently
being reworked.

As for the rest, you need to spend some time looking things over and
reading the freakin' manual.

You haven't had nearly enough time to do that yet.

Your trial is for 30 days. Get with it.

See my previous reply: RTFM.
