Computer Power User Magazine Puts PerfectDisk Professional at Head of the Class

Earlier this year, PerfectDisk won an Editor’s Choice for best enterprise disk defragmenter from Windows IT Pro Magazine in its May edition.  See the original WGS article here.

PerfectDisk has obtained another accolade from Computer Power User Magazine in its upcoming January 2009 issue.  The announcement from PerfectDisk:

GAITHERSBURG, MD – December 9, 2008 Raxco Software, the leader in disk defragmentation software, announced today that Computer Power User (CPU) Magazine has chosen PerfectDisk® 2008 Professional as the only disk defragmenter and one of just 3 System/Drive Utilities for its 2008 Head-of-the-Class Software Code. Highlighted in its January 2009 issue, in an article entitled The Tech We Respect – Our Choices of 2008’s Best & Beyond, the magazine stated that PerfectDisk 2008 Professional “is a winner in our book,” particularly in these tough economic times.

CPU Magazine points out that “these days of financial darkness mean there’s arguably never been a time when it’s paid to be especially choosy about the product you’re plunking your money down on.” CPU proclaimed PerfectDisk a better choice than the defragmenter that comes with Windows® or any other offering. The magazine finds PerfectDisk “wicked fast” and touted its many options and flexible scheduling.

CPU’s findings coincide with a recent IDC prediction of a decline in PC shipments in the coming year. As consumers and businesses put off PC and laptop purchases, they continue to look for ways to extend the life of their existing systems, and PerfectDisk boosts performance on even older machines.

“We’re honored with Computer Power Magazine’s recognition that PerfectDisk is the cream of the crop of disk defragmenters and a must-have utility,” said Joe Abusamra, vice president of operations at Raxco Software. “CPU joins the millions of users around the world that realize in today’s tough economic times, you can’t settle for second best and you need to make every dollar count. PerfectDisk delivers superior value to its users every day and provides almost immediate payback.”

It’s too bad, but understandable, that you must be a subscriber to CPU magazine to read the full article online that was cited above.

While the version cited by CPU Magazine is not the WHS version of PerfectDisk, I would like to assume that the same award winning software design is in the WHS version.  You can download a trial version of PerfectDisk for Windows Home Server here and and try it out for yourself.  If you like it, you can get a discount and free upgrade to their upcoming version.  Better hurry, though!

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    I’m curious: I have 1 TB of storage, and of that, use only about 15 percent for backups and storage.

    Do I need a defrag utility at this point, or is this something that should be considered when you get to a certain threshhold in storage?

    Stenton23, I’d say try a trial version or a free version of one of the defraggers out there and see if your drive is heavily fragmented or not. The defragger built into Vista stinks, no % bar shows at all in it! If the machine is heavily used, a defragger would be suggested. Some just use the built-in ones.

    ..and of course, don’t use the built-in defragger in WHS. It’s an old legacy application that doesn’t know about WHS’ drive extender technology.
