Many ppl seem to use PerfectDisk , whats so special about it.

Been using Diskeeper since a long time and am satisfied with it.

Just curious about PerfectDisk.

It's very thorough, only has one version for all features (unless you need the server version,) has a pretty decent interface, and instead of paying every time they release a new version you get a really damn cheap yearly or biyearly upgrade plan.

Not much else to say. I haven't used Diskeeper in years so I can't say how good it is, but the tier thing ticks me off.

After trying out perfect disk, diskeeper and some others i decided to go back to windows vista disk defragmenter...i really don?t trust those third party aplications and i think they only mess up your system...imho

+1 under vista i think you only need the one that comes with vista,under xp those others may be good.

out of curiosity i tried Perfect Disk after using diskeeper so many years.

PerfectDisk rocks must say , its smartplacement tech works gr8.

I did get some transfer speed boosts and the defrag speed was also good.

So now i am quiting Diskeeper and using PerfectDisk for all my defrags.

OS : WinXP + SP2

I use Ashampoo Magical Defrag, it claims to stop fragmentation, and unlike other defragmenters it doesn't hog resources, and automatically does a defrag every 2 weeks or something lol and knowing me I would forget to do it manually lol.

I really like diskeeper, but it always holds onto my external drives and doesn't let me format or eject them when I plug them in, even though I've disabled new drive detection in the diskeeper options.

I prefer diskeeper because I keep my computer on all the time and it defrags while it's idle, but I really like Perfectdisk's pre-boot defrag as well as how fast it works. Also, between the two, it seems that I notice the most performance gain from Perfectdisk, so my vote is cast for Perfectdisk.

JKDefrag

i add / delete / move around a ton of large files all day long (no not pirated movies :p ) JK being 64-bit helps the speed quite a bit when defraging

and when i use it on my C: i notice huge increases in speed when windows boots and logs on

as well it has lots of different types of defraging and options of what and how to defrag stuff

OO 10 works well on VISTA SP1, I use it!

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
