DiskMagik 3.6

When you purchased your brand new computer, chances are that it came with just a few software applications on it – like the Windows operating system and some trial apps the manufacturer threw in. Over time you will pile on more and more data on your hard drive – images, videos, movies, music, software applications, and so on. All that data will become fragmented.

And this is where the defragmentation process comes in. Using a software utility all the fragmented pieces are put together in a contiguous manner. This gives your computer a speed boost. Programs that took forever to launch will be up and running faster; or the file that took a long time to open will open a lot faster after going through the defragmentation task.

There a whole bunch of software utilities that will defragment your computer’s drives. What you should know is that some of them do a better job than others. DiskMagik falls in the category of utilities that do a properly good job of defragmenting your drives.

Here are some of the things that make DiskMagik an appealing piece of software:

• - The option to rearrange and reprioritize the order of the files on your disk (including the Windows Pagefile)
• - Optional Boot-time defrag
• - Exclusive Proactive Defragmentation technology that allows you to run DiskMagik in the background, silently.

Out of all the components inside your computer, the hard disk drive is by far the slowest. And when all the data stored on the hard disk drive becomes fragmented, it becomes even more sluggish. To maintain system performance at an all-time time high, you need to take care of your hard disk. That’s what DiskMagik does – it optimizes your hard drive’s performance by doing a properly good defragmentation job.
