Defrag Comparisons: Perfect Disk 12 Review

Posted In Featured, Software - By Luke On Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 With 0 Comments

Well this is the second in a multi-part review of Perfect Disk 12 and Ultimate Defrag 3. I’ve had multiple request about when I was going to be done with this, so I stuck with it last night late until I got this completed. It seems both groups from either side of this are highly spirited towards their own defragger of choice. So maybe this will swing some or confirm the others thought. Either way judging by the spirit of some of these guys I’ll probably either end up making friends or enemies with some of them haha.

So lets get rolling-

About The Company

Consistently Raxco has been the first to support and recieve certification on the latest Windows versions, including Windows 7, Vista, Windows Server 2008, and that’s just to name a few. As they phrase it in their About Us Page:

Perfect Disk products provide innovative defragmentation features and a host of customizable administration tools, making Perfect Disk the industries leading defragmentation solution.

Key Features:

There are several features Raxco has placed into this product which can be very handy for users under certain circumstances. And depending on what and how you setup your installation of Perfect Disk 12 Professional they advertise you will see:

Faster web browsing and download
Better photo and video editing experience
Maximize streaming media performance
S.M.A.R.T. monitoring of physical drives
Advanced reporting and setting control features
Designed for today’s power user looking for optimum PC performance

I think it’s easy to conclude this is exactly what you expect ANY disk defragmentation software to do, but with the inclusion of technologies such as ‘OptiWrite’ does perfect disk bring the perfect mix of options to the playing field to make it shine above the rest?

What’s New?

I’m sure there are a few of you guys out there that current use Perfect Disk 11 or maybe even 12 and are sitting there staring into the purchase screen wondering if it’s worth the extra expenditure to purchase an upgrade. Some of you are wondering what new features could be brought to a disk deframentation suite that would make it worthwhile to even purchase Perfect Disk 12 to begin with. They have stepped into their new edition with a pretty strong set of features and options that I think would stand out to quite a few people, especially some of you with SSDs!
