(As an aside, I thought this method might be awesome for SpinRite if one day it had a Windows version, so that instead of a USB bootup, you could run SpinRite for Windows and have it set to reboot into SpinRite's DOS interface and when complete, it just restarts the computer and goes back into Windows. What's cool is that if you select that option, you reboot and it has access to the drive in DOS to do it's work on the system files which otherwise can't be accessed in Windows. It is also one of the few defragmenters that can optimize a drive with as little as 1% free space and can do Boot-Time defragmentation of the Master File Tables, metadata, page file, Windows Hibernation file, etc. It also prevents some fragmentation by running always in the background using OptiWrite which intercepts fragmented write requests to the drive and prevents them right in the I/O system. It allows the entire disk to be optimized/defragmented in one pass, both files and free space and can optimize the placement of system files, frequently used files and free space for maximum speed and less wear and tear on the drive. I'm currently using the 30 day free trial of PerfectDisk and I'm very impressed by it's many features. A very basic version of Diskeeper was the basis for the Disk Defragmenter in Windows 2000 and XP. They were one of the chief competitors to Diskeeper ( ). PerfectDisk doesn't seem to come up a lot in review lists these days, but I did some research and found out that this company has been creating it's disk defragmenter program (usually for businesses) for over 30 years. I have been looking for "the best" disk defragmenter/optimizer for Windows for spinning disk hard drives (and optimization for SSDs) and I did a lot of research. I was wondering if anyone has tried PerfectDisk defragmenter for Windows?.
