PerfectDisk 12 Professional for Networks
What is PerfectDisk 12 Professional for Networks?
PerfectDisk is a defragmentation utility for Windows that can optimize disk drives with an optimization strategy called SMARTPlacement as well as prevents fragmentation with OptiWrite (detects when Windows is going to fragment files and intelligently redirects I/O to stop the fragmentation).
Overview
It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 17 files and is usually about 2.15 MB (2,252,800 bytes). The program is built using the Nokia Qt cross-platforms native C++ framework.
