Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Maintaining proper disk hygiene is like going to the dentist: You do it because you have to, but it's rarely easy and almost never pleasant. PerfectDisk is a friendly alternative that picks up where Windows' Disk Defragmenter leaves off, adding powerful features, an attractive interface, and a top-notch help file with clear instructions and definitions.
In addition to the standard defragmentation process, it offers a SmartPlacement option, which analyzes usage patterns and organizes data to minimize future fragmentation. Another useful option is offline defragmentation, which optimizes parts of the drive, such as the Master File Table and the page file, that can't be modified while Windows is running. On your next bootup, PerfectDisk takes over, optimizes the selected files, and lets Windows proceed with start-up. The interface features big buttons, bold but complimentary colors, and is short on drawbacks.
The program also offers statistical analysis, scheduled maintenance, and the ability to defragment remote computers running another copy of PerfectDisk. That last feature is perfect for IT staffers, but we recommend the app to home users, too. At its price, PerfectDisk isn't a bargain--but getting this close to perfect doesn't come cheap.

Version: PerfectDisk 10.0
"PERFECT DISK is, well ~ "PERFECT" ~ Hi Wendy! Hi Susie!"
Pros: Worth far more than the cost!
Easy to install and use!
Runs in the background seamlessly, using very few resources!
Defrags very fast on a well maintained Hard Drive.
User interface very easy to understand & just chock full of important information!Cons: The only Con I can think of is that it isn't free. But then you get what you pay for, don't you? Raxco doesn't charge much at all for all the value you get, both in Software AND Support!
Summary: I have been using PerfectDisk for at least the last 4 iterations of the product. In my book, Raxco and her employees are just #1! With service and product beyond compare! I find that all the software I have purchased from Raxco has served my need... read more >>

Version: PerfectDisk 10.0
"Crashes system when overclocked"
Pros: defraged system
Cons: I didn't know why I couldn't OC my system anymore so I did a complete reformat and reinstall. Everything was fine until I installed PerfectDisk 10 again. The same problems returned. After removing this product the problems went away.
Summary: Do not use if you overclock your system.

Version: PerfectDisk 10.0
"Tried others but this is absolutely THE MOST effective!"
Pros: Set up was easy. Ability to schedule defrags and running in background while not using much memory. Many options and features to tinker with. A joy to have that secure feeling that my PC is being looked after.
Cons: None, really.
Summary: Well, for those that want extreme simplicity then stick with Windows Defragger. For those that need something better and sacrifice some time for set up, then this is the one!!! Nothing better on the market.

Version: PerfectDisk 10.0
"Long time user...each version gets better and better!"
Pros: Pefectdisk as always been "perfect" for me. I switched over from another defragger years ago and will never use anything but Perfectdisk. Performance has always been excellent with Perfectdisk. Customer service from PD is STELLAR!
Cons: NONE! Plain and simple.
Summary: I have been a Perfectdisk user for at least the past five generations of the software. It beats the competition hands down. Each version gets better and the Perfectdisk crew listens to input and makes adjustments. With Perfectdisk, they constantl... read more >>
