Vista Should Have This Built Right In April 29, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
For Vista users, this is almost required software. You probably already know Microsoft went way backwards with defragment. This product does what Microsoft should have done in the first place, and adds some nice functions.
I've used many different defrag tools in the past and none work as well as Perfectdisk. The software installs quickly and easily. The default settings are pretty decent, a person could leave them alone and the software will quietly do it's job. The defragging is fast and efficient. I haven't run any benchmarks, but qualitatively would say my drives run faster than with Vista's defragment program.
Comparing the Vista's defrag with Perfectdisk, a 1 or 2% fragmented 180Gb hard drive 3/4 full took about 6 hours to defrag with Vista's built in program. Perfectdisk took about an hour.
Perfectdisk adds some pretty nice options that other software doesn't include.
Scheduling, you can set the program to run manually, on a timed schedule, background, at boot, and at screensaver. Background senses whenever a program runs and stops working. My personal favorite is on screensaver. You can set the program to only defrag if the drive is over a certain percentage fragmented (I set mine at 1%).
Reports, there are performance graphs and logs the software keeps. It's kind of fun to see how successive defrags improve drive performance.
Overall, I really like this program. It's reasonably priced. It's an essential tool for Vista users. It's probably a nice to have for XP. It's just sad that Microsoft did such a bad job on defragmenting in Vista.
