A few weekends ago, I was having an enormous amount of trouble with two of our computers.
They are used heavily for photo editing by the four yound ladies who use them about 16-20 hours a day. Yes, that means 16-20 hours a day each one is in use. They work in shifts. Some are day-people, some are morning-people, some are night-people.
I had been using software that I purchased to help keep the hard-disks defragmented. When you use Photoshop that many hours a day, you’re gonna have problems with fragmentation.
I work a lot on weekends making sure our computers will stand up to another weeks work. Extra virus scans, defrags, cleanups, etc.
This particular weekend, 15-16 July, I had a terrible time with one unit that gets the brunt of the Photoshop duty.
Diskeeper, which is what i used before now, would not finish it’s defragmentation.
I turned it off and tried the built-in utility that comes with XP Pro.
No deal. Would not finish.
It’s now about 2 am and I’m pissed and sleepy, but I will not quit.
I went on scavenger hunt for a new defragger.
I found info about some that I’d tried in the past and I found info on the two that would not work for me.
Then I found Perfect Disk 7 and it had a free trial. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I downloaded and put it into action.
Wow ! Is all I can say. It not only worked, it worked wonders !
I had fewer fragments after one pass then I’d ever had after several scans with my old utilities.
And it had left me with a larger, more usable partition than I’d ever had available. That, in and of itself, is a Photoshopper’s dream !
I’ve now been using it, I bought two copies, for 2 months and all I can still say is Wow !
I’ve had less trouble, our units run faster and they need fewer defrags than ever before.
The reasons for all this is spelled out on their website, so I’ll link you there at the end of this post, because they can tell you their story better than I can.
As for me, here’s my 8 Reasons To Use Perfect Disk :
1) I have Version 7 – it’s the best by far and it’s only going to get better with Version 8.
2) Auto-Pilot Scheduling and a Screensaver mode for when you didn’t think to make good use of this downtime.
3) Resource Saver technology. They’ve got it and you need it.
4) Space Restoration Technology – that’s what creates that very larger, very usable partition.
5) It’s Microsoft Certified and works on really big drives, unlike other utilities.
6) Single File Defrag – some of you have really big files that you work with and this will quickly defrag that and let you get back to work.
7) Their new I/O and CPU throttling features that won’t bog down your system.
One and done. Perfect disk gets it done with one pass.
Go by and give it a try. They offer a free trial, which gives you more than enough time to evaluate it.
Perfect Disk 8 has the Simplenomics Seal of Approval !
