Defrag Hard Disk

Bipartisan support on the best defrag software -- from the defrag capital

Monday, February 8, 2010 by Joe Abusamra

When it comes to determining the best defrag software, there can be a lot of back and forth discussion. Kinda like some of the big debates on the big issues of the day that take place just a few miles from our headquarters, in Washington DC. Proponents on each side.

One of the reasons we feel PerfectDisk is the best defrag tool available is that we've invested in R&D while delivering innovation over the years to address the changing landscape. And, all the while maintaining an open dialog with our customers to ensure we keep up with their demands.

Best defrag software -- bipartisan support

We may be biased, but we put the best defragmentation test to some of our biggest critics -- those who love PerfectDisk but want it to be better, and those who have never been that crazy about it, and used something else. The support has been coming in from all sides.

Will it remain the best defrag tool?

"Truly an improvement over an already awesome product."
"The best there is, without a doubt."
"It has no real competition."
"The 2010 standard for Disk Management. It Simply ROCKs!
"Improving on an already fine product."
"Still best on the market."
"My laptop loves it."
"State-of-the-art defragmentation for people who like perfection."
"A prettier interface."
"World class."
"Still the best - and now you can customize it too!"
"The best defrag tool on Earth just got better."
"The most customizable and comprehensive product on the shelf."
"It is the best defrag software on the market. It has features for every level of computer user, from the person that just wants to defrag their hard drive to the person that wants to not just defrag hard disk, but wants more about space usage on the hard drive, the ability to defrag while still using Windows."

The best defragmentation around.

On a scale of 1 to 10, it's an 11. March 2010.

Hard disk optimization on Hyper-V -- the MVP way

Matthew McDermott is a principal consultant for Catapult Systems and a Microsoft SharePoint Server MVP (Most Valuable Professional). Matthew writes about SharePoint and Microsoft technologies related to collaboration, web content management and productivity. Catapult Systems is a national Microsoft-focused IT consulting company that provides application development, enterprise solutions and infrastructure services.

A recent blog post by Matthew, entitled Hard Disk Optimization on Hyper-V, relayed his recent experience with PerfectDisk to support his SharePoint 2010 demo environment. In order to support this environment, he used Hyper-V, and realized that he had some pretty big VHDs. Not that the large VHD files were a problem, but he wanted to optimize his disk environment. He chose PerfectDisk "because they have a comprehensive suite of options that cover every platform that I use (Windows 7, Windows Server, Hyper-V and Windows Home Server). One brand to cover all of your options, I love it."

McDermott writes about his experience and thoughts on PerfectDisk for virtualization defrag with Hyper-V, Windows Home Server and the Enterprise Console. He sums it all up with his "proof," which included a boot time defrag to obtain "the best possible defragmentation." Stating that he has "very simple requirements, make my drives smaller and don't impact performance." PerfectDisk delivered, allowing Matthew to recover 58.4 GB of disk space.

There's more, including "the aftermath." You can read about the follow-up and the entire exercise here.

And defrag hard disk the MVP way.

WHS defrag and optimization for faster media streaming and more

Friday, October 30, 2009 by Joe Abusamra

As evidenced by our partnetrship with HP and scores of success stories from users everywhere, it is widely recognized that Windows Home Server users can benefit from using a disk defrag utility. But the real value goes beyond what you might think of when putting those files back together when you say you want to defrag a hard disk.

Many WHS users tell us there are a couple things in particular they are looking for to help their environment. And they don't care if it comes from disk defragment software or anywhere else - they just want results. They want to stream media faster and they want to mximize use of their disk space, since they are generally using a lot of it with big video files and the like.

So disk defragmentation becomes pretty obvious for part of this. Defrag hard disk, access times improve and media is streamed faster. Simple enough. Now, add in PerfectDisk 10 Windows Home Server's free space consolidation and you also benefit from a reduced rate of refragmentation, fewer resources used, and backup and anti-virus performance is improved.

Complete optimization of the WHS environment - for a better experience.
