Press Release Summary: PerfectDisk® 2008 is the only disk defragmentation utility
that places the Master File Table (MFT) on disk drives where an additional 10% -
15% performance improvement can be realized on NTFS drives.

Press Release Body: GAITHERSBURG, MD – Raxco Software, the leader in disk
defragmentation software, confirmed today that its PerfectDisk® 2008 is the only
disk defragmentation utility that places the Master File Table (MFT) on disk drives
where an additional 10% - 15% performance improvement can be realized on NTFS
drives.

The MFT is typically placed at the start of the disk space available to the file
system. In Windows XP and later versions of Windows®, Microsoft® has determined that
performance can be improved by up to 15 percent by placing the MFT 3 gigabytes
further into the disk space. PerfectDisk takes advantage of this Microsoft
recommendation and places the MFT on the drive accordingly. No other disk defrag
utility provides this performance enhancement.

Winner of numerous awards, including Windows IT Pro Editors’ Choice award, Windows
IT Pro Readers’ Choice award, Redmond Magazine’s Best of the Best, PC Magazine’s
Editor’s Choice, and top-rated 5 stars from CNET editors and About.com, Raxco’s
PerfectDisk answers the unique needs of users in the enterprise, SMB and home office
environments.
