Computer Power User (CPU) Magazine, in its January 2009 issue, devotes its cover to What's Best and What's Next. The feature covers several categories, including a Software -- 2008's Head-of-the-Class Code section. Author Warren Ernst writes "we really love using what's best. Perhaps the stars were just aligned properly one night for that perfect combination of ease, power, usability, and functionality wrapped into an unbeatable program or suite." This year, CPU gives its This Stuff is the Best nod to 12 Windows programs in four categories, one of which is System/Drive Utilities.
Just 3 products fall into the System/Drive Utilities category -- Avanquest Software Fix-It Utilities, ShadowProtect, and PerfectDisk, the only defragmenter that made it. As Ernst notes, "once a system is cleaned up, there are still hardware and software problems that can keep a Windows system from running properly." And that brings him to PerfectDisk 2008 Professional.
"Sometimes when you have a specific medical problem, you want to see a specialist. For disk defragmenting needs, we think a specialist, in the form of PerfectDisk 2008 Professional, is a better choice than the defragmenter that comes with Windows or any utility suite. PerfectDisk is wicked fast, has plenty of options for background or screen saver optimizing, and sports an attractive interface that encourages exploration. It also includes a handy "folder-size" utility that helps you track down where all your free space disappeared to. Its 'SMARTPlacement' of file helps resist file fragmentation in the future, meaning you have to defragment less often, which is a winner in our book."
Another accolade for PerfectDisk, in a year that has seen many. Now, on to 2009.
