Another vote for PerfectDisk 7. Diskeeper 9 PRO does a horrible job of defragmenting..and even though it might be faster than PerfectDisk, if you're defragmenting and all you care about is the defragmenting speed process..then why're you even defragmenting in the first place? :D

I'd like to (temporarily) add my vote for O&O. It seems to do a pretty darn good job, plus it has the scheduled task option of defragging only if the disk has reached a certain percentage of defragmentation (IE 5%). That way I can keep it set on a weekly timer (to run when everyone is asleep), but it won't run unless it's become too defragmented. Thus saving the drive from having to go through too much (unnecessary) thrashing.

If Perfectdisk has this option though, I may just have to give it a try :D

IMO, perfectdisk sux, it needs to defrag the WHOLE disk instead of juz CHOOSING to defrag parts of the disk in DISKEEPER ..

Diskeeper doesn't defrag the whole disk on any of my drives. It leaves segments that are not contiguous, even if not marked NON-Moveable.

Perhaps Perfect Disk won't do that. I guess I will have to try it.

Whatever happened to Norton Speed Disk. Did it just stagnate and fall by the wayside?

Speed disk takes way to long to defragment..and even after its done, its hard to tell whether it even did anything or not.

IMO, perfectdisk sux, it needs to defrag the WHOLE disk instead of juz CHOOSING to defrag parts of the disk in DISKEEPER ..

After running Diskeeper, my system didn't seem any faster. But after running PerfectDisk, I could actually tell that my system ran more smoothly and programs loaded faster.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
