Packages to schedule defragmentation of a server's disk. Seems the two big ones are from Winternals and Diskeeper.

Any experiences good or bad, other recommendations?

Used diskeeper, seemed to be fairly good, though not the fastest thing in the world to do. Couldn't handle moving an incredibly large file, but that's no surprise.

I've tried both and favor Winternals Defrag. It's faster and has smaller footprint (or at least it did when I evaluated it side-by-side) but still won't defrag that 100GB database in one night.
