A smarter SMARTPlacement is smarter defrag and disk space management

                                                    Defrag software patent

SMARTPlacement is PerfectDisk's patented optimization strategy that groups files on drives according to users' unique usage patterns. Rarely used files are grouped together, as are occasionally modified files and recently modified files. This strategy in essence "shrinks" the drive, because many of the driver's files don't need to be moved at all while defragmenting PC - they've been defragmented, they've been put together, and they don't need to be touched. A byproduct of this is total free space consolidation. Putting all this together, you receive the all around best performance for PCs and servers, physical and virtual. And you get a much-reduced rate of fragmentation, as new files are typically created contiguously because of all the large chunks of free space.

                                                        Defrag idea

While it's all well and good, we know there are many smart users out there that want more out of SMARTPlacement. For these users, files could be arranged according to someone's own custom strategy, taking the basics of SMARTPlacement but adding one's own unique perspective. Identifying files, applications and directory data that can be placed on a drive to further improve and maximize the drive and file performance most important to the particular user.

Taking our patent a step further with a smarter SMARTPlacement makes for a smarter defrag and smarter disk space management. Not your basic disk defragmenter program.

Great news on improved SmartPlacement! IMHO, having an option to put directories next to the $MFT would be great since this should make file accesses quicker.
