eWeek tests Diskeeper 2010

Crazy or Smart? Inside IntelliWrite part II
A cure for cancer it is not, but in the category of performance (defrag) software, IntelliWrite® is quite the bold, unorthodox step forward.

Testing IntelliWrite
It is interesting to see the varying degrees of effort beta testers undertake. Some just kick the tires and make sure nothing obvious breaks.
