Disk Defrag Software

Fully functional free 14 day trial! Try it & see the difference!

Do not confuse DiskMagik and the performance enhancement it provides with registry optimizers. The Windows registry is an important component of Windows performance, but optimizing your registry does absolutely nothing about optimizing your computer's hard drive. The hard disk drive on a Windows PC is by far the slowest component on your PC. Even high amounts of memory (RAM) and a fast processor cannot overcome the limitations of a slow disk drive... and nothing slows a hard drive down like excessive fragmentation!

Use DiskMagik with full confidence. The engine which powers DiskMagik has been in use for several years and is 100% reliable. DiskMagik is fully backed by Rose City Software and the excellent reputation which it has in the software community.

Each time your computer performs an operation, it is accessing files on the hard drive. File fragmentation occurs naturally on a computer system's hard disk as files are created, deleted, and modified. File bits and pieces get stored by Windows around the hard drive in different places, referred to as 'noncontiguous data clusters'. Windows must seek out each file fragment and assemble them as a whole before they can be used or read, so you can certainly understand why this slows things down dramatically... the disk drive must search through different parts of the disk to assemble the various fragments into a single file to present them to the user. To resolve this problem, defragmenter applications were designed to defragment or 'defrag' the hard disk and reassemble these file fragments into the same and contiguous data clusters.

Defragmenting your hard drives is highly recommended in all Windows Operating Systems, and particularly in systems running and editing large audio and multimedia files. Defragmenting your disks places the data for files next to each other (in contiguous data clusters) rather than fragmented throughout the disk. Simply put, this speeds up reading from and writing to the disk, and increases system stability. Nothing will improve Windows Vista performance more than a fully defragmented hard drive.

In Windows 2000 and XP, regular defragging offers even more benefits. XP and 2000 monitor the files that are used when the computer starts up, and when your most-used applications start. By monitoring those files the Windows can "prefetch" them; which means data that is expected to be requested is read ahead into the cache. Prefetching is improved if the files are located next to each other on the outer edge of the disk, and XP/2000 work to optimize the location of these boot and application files while the computer is idle. Although this optimization is intended to be done in the background, this activity can cut into system performance, particularly audio performance, if Windows decides the system is "idle" at the wrong time.

A good defrag utility like DiskMagik will run this location optimization task during disk defragmenting instead, so Windows doesn't decide to do it while you're working. Furthermore, Windows defrag utility doesn't do a true reorder of the swap file the way DiskMagik can do in a Complete Defrag. This should be done regularly and this can be a time consuming activity. However, this is DiskMagik!

To maintain system performance, it is also important to defragment Windows boot files (e.g. pagefile, hibernation file, etc ...) Windows defrag utilities don't do because it cannot be done while Windows is running. But DiskMagik's exclusive Boot-time Defrag can do it during system boot up.

Originally you had to close all open files and stop using the computer while the defrag utility performed its operation. Today this is no longer necessary. DiskMagik is further designed to run unobtrusively in the background while you continue using your PC, whether doing a complete defrag or running it in our exclusive proactive background mode.
