Faster analyze will be a great feature for large hard drives with hundreds of thousands of files on them. SSD support is also a fantastic new feature!

New feature of PerfectDisk 11 that I’m interested in is Remote Free Space Management.

An IT administrator like me, can easily obtain detailed storage information on workstations and servers throughout the enterprise.

I really like the enhanced SSD support. I’m looking at moving to it for my gigabit lan so I can run multiple HD video streams. I’m concerned about performance and perfect disk 11 is the perfect partner software with WHS software. Best thing since sliced bread.

Enhanced Stealth Patrol sounds great. I prefer my defrag tools to just work without me having to worry about it.

Enhanced large drive support

New algorithms ensure faster defrags for even the largest drives; and as always — no extra cost, no matter how large the drive.

A good feature for a home server

WHS when used to its otptimum performance involves daily activity which causes fragmentation of the drive(s). So in order to keep WHS at its peak performance you must defragment.
PerfectDisk is an invaluable tool to perform this task.

BlockViewer, to see what files reside in a block. Nice. Norton used to have it back in the DOS time.

Okay, it seems easy enough to copy and paste:

What’s New in PD11:
Enhanced StealthPatrol automatic background defrag
Optimizes drives faster and uses fewer resources than other defragmenters.

I like the StealthPatrol automatic background defragmentation and look forward to the new enhancements to StealthPatrol in PerfectDisk 11. With WHS the most important thing is that I can set it up and then forget about it — and I mean TRULY forget about it. With PerfectDisk my disks remain fast and efficient, but more importantly, I can forget that PerfectDisk is there because it uses fewer resources than other defragmenters and only does its job when the system is not otherwise being used. Perfect!

I just want to set it and forget it. But I have a bunch of 2TB drives, so that is a nice addition.

New and improved Space Reports and Enhanced large drive support

By: Heaphus

Heaphus — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:42:58 +0000

While there are many, I’ll go with enhanced StealthPatrol. It already works great in the current version, but improved performance is always welcome.

The blockviewer looks interesting, since it allows contextual checking of what is contained in a given block of data.

The “New and Improved Space Reports” are nice as well, so you can track your usage over time.

Looks like a great product!

It’s got an 11 in the name. This is a 10% improvement over the old, outdated ’10′ in the previous name.

Two of the most important new features in PD11 I found on the website were Windows 7 compatibility/certification from MS and a 30% performance improvement to the PD11 engine (the website didn’t say how this was gained).

I think the enhanced support for large drives and SSD to be noteworthy. Thanks Phil.
