PC Tools Disk Suite 2009 1.0.0.25
It's a fact that fragmented drives drain critical system resources, compromise the ability to access your files efficiently and slow down Windows® start-up. Defragmentation is one of the best methods of boosting system performance by optimizing the way files are arranged on the disk. By reorganizing the files using the disk defrag feature, the process of accessing those files becomes more efficient, creates a greater amount of free space on the hard drive and allows you to use that space more effectively. The defrag feature provides you with a powerful defragmentation tool that supports both NTFS and FAT file systems. Different levels of defragmentation are provided in case you just need a quick defrag or you want to schedule a complete optimization of your disk.
The Backup feature allows you to make copies of your data that can be restored in the event that files become lost, damaged or corrupted. Taking regular backup is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure you don’t lose irreplaceable data and files such as photos, documents and other information. The Backup feature in Disk Suite allows you to tailor the backup to meet your needs by selectively choosing the files to protect. It also allows you to restore files as needed, and verify your backup to ensure valuable data can be recovered as needed.
Partitioning allows you to manage the different partitions that make up the volumes and drive letters on your PC. By dividing your disk into individual partitions such as operating system, program files, data files and personal documents you can better structure your data for both improvedperformance and in the unfortunate event of disk corruption failure. The Partition feature allows you to create, merge, split, resize, delete, copy, and move partitions without losing data. It also lets you manage your partition structure by allowing you to change cluster sizes, convert to different file systems and much more.
Physical disk and file corruption is one of the main causes of data loss. The Repair feature allows you to actively monitor the health of your disk and file systems and where possible repair corruption and errors. It also allows you to schedule or directly run different types of disk integrity checks and identify future disk corruption so issues can be quickly discovered and resolved. The repair feature performs integrity checks to check file system structure, surface scans to check for bad sectors and disk errors as well as repair hard drive problems. In addition the repair feature includes hard disk diagnostics and lets you review the information including the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) status of your hard drive (if supported).
