If you're the type of user who needs every last drop of performance from your computer, and nothing but the best will do then Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier Edition Academic is a must-have.

Along with the high-speed defragmentation features in Diskeeper 10 Professional Edition, Professional Premier Edition Academic adds the proprietary Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology (I-FAAST™). I-FAAST is a technology breakthrough that allows Diskeeper to intelligently organize your most important files, increasing their performance even more than defragmentation alone—and it's totally automatic.
Speed with Intelligence

I-FAAST is the first totally adaptive file sequencing technology.IFAAST It starts by benchmarking each volume, no matter what architecture (IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID, etc…) , to discover it’s unique performance characteristics. It then watches files access to determine which files are accessed most frequently. During its specialized defragmentation process, it sequences the files to give you a burst of speed, up to 80%, for the files you access most. Gamers, Multimedia gurus, and Power Users of the world; rejoice!

Not only does Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier Edition Academic includes all the features of Diskeeper 10 Professional Edition, but it includes the new breakthrough I-FAAST technology, native support for x64 Operating Systems, and expanded support for large volumes (up to 2 TB)!

System Requirements:

The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. On Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000 systems, Diskeeper will need about 11 MB. Allow about 10 MB of extra free space for temporary files during the installation. If Internet Explorer is not present on your computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB.

Additional Software Requirements:

On Windows NT 4.0 computers, Service Pack 6 is required for Diskeeper to function properly. Diskeeper will not install on Windows NT systems running Service Pack 5 or lower.

Diskeeper relies on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC provides a single point of control for system utilities such as Diskeeper. The MMC is used as a central location for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools.

NOTE:

The MMC normally has to be installed separately, except on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems, where it is already built into the operating system. The Diskeeper setup process will automatically install the MMC on your computer if needed.

NOTE ABOUT FIREWALLS:

As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a server on your system. If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a server. These messages are expected; you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator. You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking is not required, you can safely disable this.
