File Structure
File structure shows the fragmentation level and relative location of files and folders on the hard disk.
The screenshot below was taken before running defragmentation and clearly shows that there were a lot of fragmented files and folders. (Here again, I would have liked to see the percentages.)
After defragmentation, file and folder fragmentation has clearly gone down. Note, however, that the paging file is still fragmented.
Statistics
You can compare the statistics before and after defragmentation of a hard disk, which in this case clearly shows that there was a definite improvement after running Diskeeper.
Let’s summarize the key figures:
|
Before Diskeeper Ran |
After Diskeeper Ran |

Fragmented directories |

Excess directory fragments |

Volume fragmentation |

Data fragmentation |

Except for the paging file fragmentation, all these factors improved after the execution of Diskeeper.
Scheduling
Scheduling is very tricky with the Windows defragmentation tool. In Diskeeper, however, this can be achieved very easily. All you need do is just move the mouse on the schedule. You can schedule this operation weekly or for a specific date.
