Perfect Disk 10 for Windows Home Server Review

Well next week, the latest version, PerfectDisk11 will be launched and the Windows Home Server edition has a new name – its now called PerfectDisk 11 Windows Home Server Bundle.

I have been on the beta program now for a number of months and I have to say I like it so far 🙂 Raxco have now been in-touch and said I can talk about it!

We will have more news next week, including some of our usual giveaways for licences (as we have done previous with great success), but until then, here is a list of what’s new:

• Advanced SMARTPlacement™ optimization (Pro and Server versions only)

New easy-to-use engine customization lets files, applications and directory data be placed according to your unique requirements or preferences for improved system performance and faster file access.
