PerfectDisk redefines enterprise disk defragmentation addressing an issue that Microsoft, in various published artices, states is often the cause of poor system performance on a system. Provides the most comprehensive solution for defragmentation by optimizing virtually every file on the system, including the Master File Table ($MFT), all metadata, paging files, and directories. Patented SMART Placement technology arranges files on a disk to ensure that free space is consolidated and the future rate of fragmentation is minimized.

    Leave this product alone. You can not stop the auto-update process.
    You are not in control anymore. From now on Perfectdisk will decide for you.
    How good software can turn into bad. Pity, Pity.

    Defragging is not as useful as it once was, SSD's don't need defragging and Windows Vista/7 already come with a good defragger, Why waste money when you don't need to?

    I own this thing; exactly why I don't know. I haven't tried this latest version but it takes forever to defrag my son's 4G game and always leaves fragments. S.M.A.R.T is not working, and it constantly complains about excessive metadata. Either I don't know what I'm doing or this software just doesn't work, but either way, this software is just too complicated and the interface is too crowded and confusing, and it always says my computer is running at peak performance even though the map is full of red squares.

    I downloaded the trial version today. It's annoying how it starts doing stuff that I didn't ask and I had to turn off a lot of settings. Also the "Most Fragemented Files" list is buggy, it does not seem to always update. If I'm going to defrag I want to know what's fragmented first. So far I don't love this version.
