Whenever you may need a complete yet easy to use solution to optimize the disk's file reading and writing parameters at the Windows level, Diskeeper from Condusiv Technologies Corporation could be what you are looking for.
It provides a set of tools that enables you to analyze volumes performance, disks and system health. When analyzing volume performance, it provides a summarized status description and recommendations. If it detects that your drive needs a defragmentation process, it will alert you. It is also recommended to allow Diskeeper to automatically optimize your volumes.
An obvious advantage of this application is the high analyzing speed. Comparing it with similar programs, I can clearly say it makes this tool stand out. The defragmentation process is also a fast one. I tested it on volume C - a Windows home partition, with 100GB of data - and it took just a few minutes.
After using all its features, Diskeeper improved the read and write access time by 34%, a significant percentage in my opinion.
All these advantages combined with a low price tag make this product a great tool to have installed on your PC.
