To All Raxco Customers,

Raxco is closing its doors after 45 years of providing system utility software to consumers and businesses around the world. Anyone with a permanent product license (PerfectDisk, PerfectStorage, or any OVMS product) will be able to continue using the product(s) but will no longer receive updates or technical support. 

For those with subscription products (PerfectGuard, PerfectRegistry, PerfectUpdater, InstantRecovery), the product(s) will continue to work until the subscription term expires, however support will be discontinued. They would like to thank the user community for their business over the years, and they apologize for any trouble this may create. 

If you are seeking for a great alternative to this product, we propose O&O Defrag Pro. 

The application is a thorough disk optimization utility that improves the performance and efficiency of your computer. It was created by Raxco Software and includes a number of functions targeted at optimizing disk consumption, increasing system speed, and extending the life of your storage drives. Its powerful algorithms and easy UI promise to provide consumers with a smooth experience while maintaining the health and performance of their system.

Highlights

Fragmentation Prevention with OptiWrite®
The app's innovative OptiWrite technology avoids the majority of drive fragmentation before it occurs, keeping your system running smoothly. OptiWrite detects when Windows is about to fragment files and intelligently redirects I/O to prevent fragmentation from occurring. System performance is maintained, and the demand for CPU and Disk I/O resources to defragment files is significantly reduced. Because less defragmentation is required, there is a clear benefit in terms of energy savings in CPU consumption as well as reading and writing to disk. It saves users money on energy as well as time spent defragmenting their file systems. 

Space Management 
The tool's new Space Management feature recovers disk space by finding and eliminating duplicate files including text documents, images, audio, and videos. Recycler clears the Recycle bin and removes temporary files to keep your drive clutter-free. Space Reports allows you to view a graphical and statistical report on file utilization and allocation. 

Intelligent Disk Optimization
For the minimal fragmentation that may still occur, the program's revolutionary SMARTPlacement optimization approach optimizes disk drives based on your specific usage patterns. SMARTPlacement produces the most consolidated free space possible, eliminates the majority of fragmentation before it starts, and reduces the rate of fragmentation. 

Auto-Optimization for Full Unattended Optimization 
The software's StealthPatrol™ tab prevents fragmentation and optimizes system performance when idle. Auto-optimization allows you to improve your system when it is idle or while the Windows screensaver is running. Auto-optimization allows you to choose whether or not to run at specific times of day or when a user-defined application is running. No other defragmentation or optimization software demonstrates this amount of flexibility. 

Advanced Boot Time Defrag 
A complete boot time defragmentation is a crucial aspect in improving PC performance. Perfect Disk's enhanced boot time defrag capability may defragment files that would normally remain fragmented, such as the Windows pagefile.sys or the file system's MFT (Master File Table), resulting in the best boot time defrag operation. 

Complete disk defragmentation and free space consolidation
It provides the most thorough defragmentation solution by optimizing practically every file on the system, including the Master File Table (MFT), all NTFS metadata files, paging files, directories, and datafiles, as well as consolidating free space. And it accomplishes it all in one pass. There is also a Selected items Defrag option, which is excellent for defragmenting huge items like video files without defragmenting the entire drive. 

S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring 
S.M.A.R.T. monitoring capabilities track the state of physical drives. It generates warnings and alarms for hardware performance and reliability, allowing you to be aware of any potential hardware issues. 

CPU and I/O: Control Resource Throttling 
It includes resource throttling capabilities to help manage resource utilization as efficiently as possible. I/O throttling enables Perfect Disk to run on extremely busy disks without putting additional strain on the disk. CPU throttling lets you increase or decrease the CPU priority at which it runs. Its typical processing requires extremely few CPU resources.

Features

• Disk Defragmentation: It uses innovative disk defragmentation techniques to arrange and optimize fragmented files on your hard drive, resulting in better access times and overall performance.
