Full Disk Compressor Amazing
RAR1111- Pros
- Multiple CPU cores used to increase speed. Balances all the workload across threads. Beats Windows NTFS compression. Very fun conversion progress to watch! Reprocessing mode to manage locked files.
- Cons
- Does not provide alternate algorithm to NTFS compression.
- Summary
- I have a pretty small SSD, as they are very expensive. I used MagicRAR's Drive Press utility to compress this SSD. I had tried NTFS compression before but this one actually fared much better. I have a lot of free space on my SSD now. They explain on the site how they are able to increase NTFS compression, it has something to do about a Windows bug. I am very impressed someone thought of this!
Beats Cocktail of WinRAR / WinZip / 7-Zip
JasonStrathmore- Pros
- Eliminates need for cocktail of three archive programs. Only utility I found that can compress into all major formats. Has built-in full disk compressor which is also unique. Unique Explorer folders feature is super convenient.
- Cons
- Find Smallest Archive feature doesn't have simultaneous mode.
- Summary
- I have been using a cocktail of archive utilities for years: WinRAR / WinZip / 7-Zip. I have to install and use all three programs because each has some weakness or the other. With MagicRAR, for the first time I have found a program that eliminates the need for this "cocktail" of software with a single, well-designed utility. It is super convenient. After being able to open 7Z and RAR files like folders in Windows, I find myself I cannot go back to a cocktail of three strange user interfaces.
