What disk defragmenter do you use?

Topic says it all.

I'm currently using Diskeeper 11. I was obsessed with PerfectDisk 7.0, but it wasn't fast when defragmenting large volumes.

Windows defragmenter sucks. Look at this image.


This is the drive map generated from Diskeeper after defragmenting with Vista's inbuilt defragmenter, which is supposed to be better than XP's. I don't know if it is really true (that Vista's defragmenter is better than XP's) though.

There are added features. For example, i-FAAST in Diskeeper will monitor the frequently accessed files and rearrange them to get the best performance. It also has a I/O monitor so whenever we need to read/write to the hard drive, defragmenter automatically pauses so that you can work normally even when the hard drive is being defragmented. Because of this, I no longer hesitate to defragment my 278GB data volume.
