Diskeeper Corp. today launched software that it says prevents up to 85% of hard drive fragmentation on Microsoft Windows systems, thereby improving performance and virtually eliminating the scheduled, automatic or manual task of defragmentation.
Diskeeper originally announced it would release Diskeeper 2010 in August.
The software uses a new technology called IntelliWrite, which optimizes file placement on disks to prevent fragmentation from occurring, thereby increasing read and write speeds, the company claimed. By curtailing the excessive I/Os associated with fragmentation, wear and tear on the drive should also be greatly reduced, resulting in extended hardware life.
