PerfectDisk Professional - Features

Current Features

• Fragmentation Prevention with OptiWrite: PerfectDisk's new OptiWrite technology prevents most fragmentation on your drive before it occurs, which prevents your system from slowing down. OptiWrite detects when Windows is going to fragment files and intelligently redirects I/O to stop the fragmentation from occuring.
  
• Space Management: PerfectDisk's new Space Management recovers disk space by detecting and removing duplicate files such as text documents, pictures, music and videos.
  
• Intelligent Disk Optimisation: For the limited fragmentation that can still occur, PerfectDisk's patented SMARTPlacement optimization strategy optimises disk drives according to your unique usage patterns.
  SSD Optimize is an optimisation method for SSDs that focuses on free space consolidation without defragmentation of files. Solid State Drives are not affected by file fragmentation like traditional electromechanical disk drives. As such, it will leave files in a fragmented state while consolidating free space into large pieces.
  
• Auto-Optimisation for Complete Unattended Optimisation: PerfectDisks exclusive StealthPatrol tab is used to set automatic fragmentation prevention and optimise your system when it isn't busy.
  
• Advanced Boot Time Defrag: PerfectDisk's advanced boot time defrag capability is able to defragment files that otherwise would remain fragmented such as the Windows pagefile.sys or the file system's MFT (Master File Table) and provides the best boot time defrag operation.
  
• Total disk defragmentation and free space consolidation: PerfectDisk offers the most comprehensive solution for defragmentation by optimising virtually every file on the system, including the Master File Table (MFT), all NTFS metadata files, paging files, directories and datafiles, and completely consolidating free space.
  
• S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring: New S.M.A.R.T. monitoring capabilities monitor the status of physical drives. It generates warnings and alerts for hardware performance and reliability, helping you ensure you are aware of any potential hardware problems.
  
• CPU and I/O - Control Resource Throttling: Perfectdisk provides resource throttling capabilities to manage resource usage as efficiently as possible. I/O throttling allows PerfectDisk to run on very busy disks without imposing additional load on the disk.
