Diskeeper has claimed that every computer owner can do their bit for the environment simply by defragging their hard drives regularly.

By doing so, you can clearly improve the performance of your PC and the resulting increase in efficiency should mean that your PC uses less electricity.

It’s hardly surprising that Diskeeper sell defragging software, and whilst the software comes highly rated, as you know at Being Smarter, we’re always lookin to do things for minimal cost. The defragging program which comes with Windows is good. If you run it overnight once a month – maybe you’ll notice the meter whizzing round slightly less…!

    Diskeeper is a very good defrag program. Used in conjunction with a central administrative defrag console it significantly reduces the effort behind defrags. The automatic background defrags work very efficiently and is a great advancement over older defrag programs.

    I don’t know whether it saves the planet, but it sure keeps my hard drives running fine. Fragmentation is never an issue when DK is overseeing the drives. I use the Diskeeper 2008 Pro version BTW.
