Raxco PerfectDisk 12.5 Pro
5.12 PerfectDisk is a product worth a try
if you like full drive information and want to control information about the
defragmentation process. Anyone can get benefit from it, but the biggest
benefit is for those who study what it can do than like the “install and
forget” program. It has features you expect from an advanced defragmentation:
defrag at boot time, set up work with many options, defragment user-specified
file or exclude from defragmentation, optimize automatically when fragmentation
threshold is reached, the terabyte drive support, the real time defragmentation
that hardly touches system resources, etc. It also has a storage manager can
scan to find duplicate files and allows you to select any file you want to
delete.
Unlike other defragmentation utilities,
PerfectDisk Pro 5.12 does not provide some other method to defragment but it
offers a wide range of parameters that their settings are changed to provide 5
strategies to defragment. You can also design and apply own strategies with
these parameters, determine the maximum size of files to defragment, should or
should not combine the fragmented file aggressively, length of time is applied
to classify based on the newly modified and rarely modified files, etc.
Learning the settings is not very easily, but as you know, they do well to create
defragment strategy that you want.
A few features found in defragmentation
program is the Dashboard tab. It presents health, temperature and hard drive
performance, as well as appropriate information and warning messages, such as:
“The %rate of drive performance has dropped below 80%”. If you want more
technical details, let’s check the SMART tab to find drive information,
including transmission mode, rotation speed, etc.
PerfectDisk Pro 5.12 provides a help system
in the best product compared to any program in this category, with the
excellent contextual detail selection and organization, the highlight
illustrations, and many links. PerfectDisk 12.5 Pro is one of the luxury
defragmenter, providing speed, options and precise controls.
Auslogic Disk Defrag 3.3
Defragmentation
display of Disk Defrag does not explore any new ground, but gives you all
necessary information
We have introduced many free defragmenter,
and again, it provides stability. Nothing likes Defrag Pro 15 or PerfectDisk
Pro 12.5, but you may not need everything they offered, or you want to pay the
requested price. If comparing between own defragmenter of Windows and the
Auslogic, Auslogic won thanks to its speed and features.
Disk Defrag includes fast drive analysis.
It provides 2 defragment modes: fast defrag and combined defrag with the
consolidation of free storage. There are options to move the files accessed
recently to the outer edge of the drive for faster access and skip the larger
file fragmentation than a specific size (choices range from 10MB to 10GB). You
can also build a list of files and folders to exclude from the process. Other
option will delete the contents of the Windows temporary directories and
current user directory before defragmenting - to work intelligently based on
the assumption that there is no reason to handling spam file, unless the user
has other decision. You can do this deeper in a complete utility set such as
System Mechanic, but would be simpler to run everything from a program. It has
a feature that we want to see further development.
IObit Smart Defrag present to you the list
of fragmented files, but Disk Defrag (eg PerfectDisk 12.5 Pro and Defrag 15
Professional Edition) goes further by allowing you to select a particular file
or group and defragment them. It also supports terabyte drives. In terms of
disadvantages, Disk Defrag only allows you to programme just one
defragmentation; you can select multiple drives to defragment and select daily,
weekly or monthly schedule, but it is only monitors this job. The other
disadvantage is that you can schedule a job or start the automatic
defragmentation during idle time of PC. You can not do both, because they use
the same menu interface. When we implement this article, there is no support
system, only a link to online product documentation but there is nothing there.
But you will not need helping file to use a
program that is easy to navigate and use like this. If you want a free, fast
defragmenter with some very useful features, Disk Defrag shines.
