I’ve rebuild the drive, but the system won’t boot, then recover the system and everything was ok.

Now I use a single 10k disk for my principal system, and a RAID0 with two 10k disk for secondary disk. I use Windows7 and it defrag both volumes at scheduled time, never had a problem in a couple of week.

I installed Diskeeper in my laptop, since I own a valid license and it goes very well.

alkampfer, i had a similar experience. And until i started reading some posts on RAID failures from using Diskeeper, i was thinking that it was just a coincidence.

did you replace the degraded hd? or did you just rebuild your RAID and go on?

Diskeeper Corporation has created a vital component previously missing from virtualized environment productivity. V-locity with InvisiTaskingÂ® installs on both the Windows ServerÂ® 2008 OS that is running the virtual host and all WindowsÂ® virtual machines (guests). Each component optimizes its respective Windows OS and performs defragmentation of files and consolidation of free space. This minimizes unnecessary I/O passed from the OS to the disk subsystem and aligns data on the drives for optimal access.

With the proprietary InvisiTasking, V-locity will automatically and invisibly defragment files and consolidate free space on every Windows system it is installed, eliminating unnecessary and excess I/O to restore system performance and reliability for the entire platform. At the same time, V-locity provides a tool to analyze and compact wasted virtual disk space.

For additional information, contact V-locity@diskeeper.com.

The bad thing is that the disk was ok before running diskeeper, after rebuilding the array everything went ok again.

It is more likely that the failing disk in your RAID array caused your system slowness.

You are right, I used perfect disk in the past and it was really great, I think I’ll move again to Perfect Disk in the near future.
