[...] We’ve previously previewed Diskeeper, which is a great solution for keeping your home server’s hard disks defragmented and running at optimal speed – it simply runs in the background on your home server and whenever the server is idle, gets to work optimising your disk speed. When the server is accessed, Diskeeper pauses so it never slows down access to your home server. The preview we did was based on a pre-release version of Diskeeper 2007. [...]

Hooray! I suspected as much given how expensive the Server version was. Thank you very much for checking it out for us.

Fingers crossed for a time-bombed version (or even a release version, if the Aussie dates are correct and WHS is really going to be out in 10 days) soon.

So, I checked with Diskeeper on pricing and the Home Server edition will definitely be priced differently (ie. less expensive) than the standard Server edition.

Hurrah!

Hi,

I’d be very surprised if the Server pricing was mapped over to WHS, but we’ll see. Am checking on the time-bombed version

Any word yet on that time-bombed version of Diskeeper for WHS you were hopeful to get? If you keep up with the Microsoft WHS forum you’ll know that fragmentation is reported as a widespread problem there, with few available (suitable) fixes besides long manual defrags.

I’ve downloaded a 30-day trial of Diskeeper’s Server version, and it seems to be working well for me so far. Any chance you can feed back to the Diskeeper folks that the $299.95 they charge for their existing Server software is far, far too expensive for the WHS market? Thanks.

The server at our office has been having problems of late, it had boot issues amongst other things. I believe fragmentation had been the cause and apparently its been giving sysadmin a headache.

Hi Mark

You can still pick up an evaluation copy of the WHS Release candidate now, I believe, and there’ll be an upgrade option to full RTM later in the year.

Go to: http://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer and fill out the survey and you’ll get access.

Cheers
