Software, the leader in disk defragmentation, now provides the power of
enterprise defragmentation for desktop and laptop users with
PerfectDisk. PerfectDisk's easy to use interface and powerful
defrag engine were designed for users who do not require the
capabilities of network defragmentation and advanced features for the
enterprise.PerfectDisk is a software that helps you to defrag disks. If
you want to optimize your computer to run faster and perform better so
you can do more – whether work or surfing the Web – and don't run in a
networked environment like many companies, then PerfectDisk is for you.
Delivering a unique set of easy-to-use features and benefits not
found in any other solution, PerfectDisk® 2008 will make your computer
run like new. Work and play faster - and smarter. PerfectDisk makes
everything you do on your computer faster - so you can be more

SMARTPlacement™ optimization is paired with its exclusive single-pass
defragmentation and Space Restoration Technology™ to maximize PC and
laptop performance. All controlled and automated according to your
unique requirements through AutoPilot Scheduling™ or StealthPatrol™
unattended background processing. PerfectDisk 2008 provides
new and enhanced features and easier navigation for home users, SMB
(Small and Medium Business), and enterprise users. There is better
performance on very large drives, scheduling and automatic
defragmentation enhancements, reduction in system resources used,
improved reporting and manageability, full 64-bit support, and many
more exciting new features and enhancements. Management of
PerfectDisk 2008 in network environments is improved with easier
integration with Active Directory Group Policy as well as the new
PerfectDisk 2008 Command Center. Key Features:
• Microsoft Certified. Ensures PerfectDisk 2008 meets
Microsoft-specified availability, reliability, security, and
supportability guidelines that result in a better and safer user
experience. • Patented SMARTPlacement™ Optimization. PerfectDisk
2008's SMARTPlacement™ optimization strategy results in faster
subsequent defragmentation runs and faster boot times because many of
the files on the drive do not need to be moved at all, since they are
placed according to users unique usage patterns. Typical defragmenters
waste resources by constantly moving all files around on the drive
during every defrag pass. • Space Restoration Technology™.
PerfectDisk 2008's exclusive Space Restoration Technology provides the
most complete and efficient free space consolidation available today.
In a single pass, PerfectDisk 2008 creates the largest piece of
contiguous free space possible. This results in less fragmentation
occurring when new files are created and also improves write file
access time, in addition to read file access time, which is all typical
defragmenters focus on. A Consolidate Free Space Defrag option is also
available which creates the largest piece of contiguous free space
available. This is useful prior to creating large files or in
performing partition resizing operations. It is also useful in
compressing a virtual hard drive on a virtual machine, as a large
amount of contiguous space will be recaptured. • Single-pass File
and Free Space Defragmentation. PerfectDisk 2008 performs a complete
defragmentation of files and free space in a single pass no matter how
large the drive or how badly fragmented the drive. No slowly chipping
away at the problem like typical defragmenters. Once and done - and
using fewer resources as well. In addition, you have a clear
understanding of when your drive has completed its defragmentation.
• Complete Automation. PerfectDisk 2008's exclusive AutoPilot
Scheduling automates all aspects of defragmentation. Administrators and
users have complete flexibility in defining schedules to completely
automate the enterprise's defragmentation. For example, schedules can
be set to run daily, weekly, or only when the user's screen saver is
on. If users are working, PerfectDisk will run in the background. With
StealthPatrol, users can choose to have PerfectDisk only run during
system idle time. • Minimal Free Space Requirement. Raxco
Software pioneered defragmentation of the largest drives with minimal
free space - as little as 1% free space on a drive is required to
defragment it with PerfectDisk 2008. • Complete NTFS Metadata
File Defragmentation. Because only PerfectDisk 2008 defragments all
metadata, the result is a drive that is completely defragmented. Other
defragmenters do not defragment all of the NTFS metadata and even more
alarming, do not report on the files they leave fragmented. And
PerfectDisk also provides complete fragmentation statistics for all
files. You get the complete picture of the state of your drive. With
other defragmenters, since you don't have statistics on all files,
you're only seeing part of the picture. • Optimized Master File
Table (MFT) Placement. PerfectDisk 2008 provides a 5%-10% performance
improvement over typical defragmenters because of where PerfectDisk 8
places the MFT. Microsoft has specific guidelines for placement of the
MFT for this improved performance, and only PerfectDisk follows these
guidelines. • Selected Files Defrag. PerfectDisk 2008 allows
users to defragment a single file, or selected files, rather than an
entire drive if desired. This can be useful for users working with
large files, such as videos. • CPU and I/O Throttling.
PerfectDisk 2008 provides the ability to control CPU and I/O resources.
While PerfectDisk 2008 uses very little CPU resources, administrators
still have the ability to throttle CPU depending on certain
circumstances. Similarly, I/O activity can also be throttled. This can
be useful if, for example, another application is performing large
amounts of I/O. • User-defined thresholds. PerfectDisk 2008's
exclusive Perfect-Time™ user-defined threshold capability allows you to
limit the amount of times PerfectDisk needs to run to only when a
site-defined level of fragmentation is reached, thereby reducing
unnecessary defrag runs. • Full Active Directory Integration.
PerfectDisk 2008 is fully integrated with Active Directory Group Policy
Administrative Templates, allowing for comprehensive enterprise
deployment, scheduling and management. This saves time with enterprise
deployment and requires no training for administrators familiar with
Microsoft's Active Directory. • Optional GUI-less Installation.
PerfectDisk 2008 can be installed without the user interface active,
giving administrators increased control. This allows administrators to
deny end users access to the PerfectDisk interface if they wish.
• Full-featured Command Line Interface. Full-featured command line
support for both local and remote operations is provided. Command line
support is not limited to certain commands, as with typical
defragmenters. The ability to utilize all PerfectDisk 2008 commands
provides administrators with even more control and allows for greater
tailoring to your site's specific requirements. • Low System
Resource Usage. PerfectDisk 2008 has low CPU and memory usage, which
saves computer resources, freeing them for other needs and
applications. • Automatic Shutdown After Defrag. PerfectDisk 2008 can be set to shut down at the conclusion of a defrag.
• Defragments directories, pagefile and hibernate file. No file or
directory is left fragmented with PerfectDisk 2008, so you'll have
better performance. No other defragmenter defragments the hibernate
file. What's New in PerfectDisk® 2008: * A
brand-new user interface. A new user interface makes it easier than
ever to use PerfectDisk. Menus and toolbars have been replaced with a
ribbon that organizes and presents capabilities into a set of tabs that
correspond to how the product is used. The tabs on the ribbon display
the commands that are most relevant for each of the task areas in
PerfectDisk. New wizards are also now included, providing easier setup.
* StealthPatrol™ automatic disk defragmentation. PerfectDisk now
provides the ability to automatically perform defragmentation only when
your system is idle. Together with the wide range of scheduling options
available with AutoPilot Scheduling, PerfectDisk 2008 provides more
flexibility, automation and complete control than any other disk
defragmenter. * Improved performance and reduced resource usage.
PerfectDisk has been enhanced to run even faster during SMARTPlacement
defragmentation passes. The engine also now uses 15% - 20% less memory
consumption than PerfectDisk 8, which results in additional improved
performance. * Selected Files Defrag. PerfectDisk's Single File
Defrag has been replaced with Selected Files Defrag, giving users the
ability to select multiple files to defragment, rather than the entire
drive. The ability also now exists to select files from the "Most
Defragmented Files" list for immediate and automatic defragmenting.
* Fragmeter. A new graphical view of how fragmented your drive is.
PerfectDisk 2008's powerful bit map display of disk drives is now
enhanced with a new, colorful and easy-to-view circular graphic of your
drive's level of fragmentation. * Free Space Recycler.
PerfectDisk now provides the ability to easily and automatically
reclaim valuable free space from your Recycle Bin, Temporary Internet
Files, and duplicate text, picture, video and music files. *
Space Explorer. See a bird's eye view of the space distribution between
files and folders inside your drives' directories. PerfectDisk 2008's
Space Explorer also allows you to delete large files to recapture
valuable space on your drive. * Enhanced system tray icon
functionality. Additional capabilities are now available through the
system tray icon, providing additional ease-of-use. * Estimated Time to Completion. PerfectDisk now provides the estimated time of day when a defrag run will complete.
* Native support for 64-bit platforms. Native support for 64-bit
platforms provides improved performance and efficiency on 64-bit
platforms. * Enhanced Active Directory Integration. A new Active
Directory tab is now available for those enterprises utilizing Active
Directory, allowing for easy Active Directory snap-in and loading of
the PerfectDisk 2008 Administrative template. Size : 46 MB Download Or Mirror
