PerfectDisk is a defragmentation software product for Windows developed by Raxco.[1]
The application keeps track of file usage to lessen defragmentation time[2] and offers two modes of basic defragging: "quick" and "SmartPlacement".[3]
History
During the 1980s, a software package titled "Disk-Optimizer" was marketed as part of the collective name "RAXCO Rabbit Software."[4][5]
PerfectDisk was released in 1990 for the VMS[6] operating system.[7] A version for Windows NT followed later in 1997.[8] PerfectDisk contains scheduler supporting also client PCs in the network.
Competition
The standard Windows "Disk Defragmenter" is based on a subset of a competing, now-discontinued product named Diskeeper.[9] For those seeking additional features, PerfectDisk and the full-feature Diskeeper are among their options; these are intended for high-end users, and feature optimizing the placement of "system files and free space."[10]
