Good deal on a decent Defrag Program

[pwborders]

I am not making any recommendation here, I have just read reviews and the program seems to be a good one.

Amazon has Perfect Disk 7.0 on sale for $31.99 which qualifies for free shipping. There is also a $20 rebate on it through the end of April so you end up getting it for $11.99 shipped. For less than $12 I will give it a try. It is a mail in rebate so YMMV but I have never had any problems as long as I was careful and kept good records.

What does 'YMMV' stand for? :confused:

I just run a program call "contig" on recordings in postprocessing.bat, never had to defrag my recordings drive since, every file is contiguous & 1 fragment.

I have used Perfect Disk 7.0 for over 12 months and it really is set it and forget it; runs as a background process, schedules from within the app, multiple schedules (pvr drive every night, system every week), fast and reliable. Even does network drives. For 12 bucks, you're laughing...

windows comes with a free one, you cant get better than that....

sure its not the best, but good enough...

A friend who works in our computer support department recommended Perfect Disk. I tried the demo. It blows away the built in defrag on XP.
I work in IT as well and can recommend the product. It does a great job and can optimize based on how often the file is used. That and nightly scheduled defrags. I will be ordering that for $12. That is a steal.

Kinda funny this topic would get started, I was trying to use the crappy defrag in win XP last night to clean up my PVR and was wanting to find something else that might do a better job Just placed an order for that, thanks for the find!

I actually have been using contig and it is very nice. I haven't found a good way to use it automatically since my system will suspend itself while it is running since it has such low cpu usage. I have to disable the automatic suspend, run contig, then re-enable the automatic suspend and that is rather annoying.

I haven't tried Perfect Disk yet but for $12 it is under the "try it just for the heck of it" threshold. It came in today so I hope to play with it this weekend.

Has anyone that ordered Perfect Disk 7.0 received their rebate? I hate rebates... they always get "lost". I guess it's worth the $32 tho. LOL
