Review: Raxco PerfectDisk Pro Version 12.5 ADVERTISEMENT
|
At the outset, I should declare that I have personally licensed
earlier versions of PerfectDisk (Versions 10.0 and then 11.0). To be frank, I’ve
not paid any attention to it in the last few years – I’ve just let it chug away
in the background looking after my big ‘spinning’ Hard Disk Drives.
With a quick glance it is obvious that PerfectDisk has
evolved significantly since I last looked at it.
PerfectDisk still has the primary objective of keeping drives
in an optimal performance state by reducing the level of fragmentation of
files and free space and thus a key question that comes straight into my mind
is – How does it compare to the defragmentation facility that comes packaged
with Windows?
The other key questions that occur to me are – is the new
preventative ‘Optiwrite’ functionality, that stops fragmentation from happening
in the first place, effective? And, is the new ‘SSD Optimise’ functionality
effective?
I have endeavoured to find some indicative answers to these
questions in my testing.
