Slow PC Solutions
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! A day for green bagels and green beer…and a green defrag. Yes, while you may have thought about a defrag solution when you were thinking about slow PC tips for your computer, there are also ways that you can improve PC performance and be a little greener, environmentally speaking, in the process.
Here are just a few ways PerfectDisk can help you do your part in keeping the planet, or your life, more environmentally and economically friendly:
- file placement strategies result in fewer resources consumed over time
- flexible scheduling options like idle background processing, screen saver and more result in fewer resources consumed
- longer life for PCs and laptops, because they maintain their performance, means fewer in the trash
- longer life for hard drives.
Looking for a real-world example? Steven V. Smith is the president of SoundsSmith Mastering, a media post-production service company specializing in traditional mastering, fine editing, creating duplication masters, and quality control. Steven writes:
“I have to say that my biggest appreciation is that I’ve noticed my hard drives (all of them, regardless of brand) seem to be so much more trouble-free, and work like new (quiet, fast) after several years of hard use. Before I started using PerfectDisk regularly, hard drive failure was not so uncommon for us here.
“I think the difference has been since PerfectDisk’s StealthPatrol proved to be so completely non-performance-impinging, and I could leave it on all the time (for all our drives) and never worry about fragmentation or system performance issues from running an auto defrag. This is like having your cake and eating it too. I attribute it to PerfectDisk and StealthPatrol (with the default SmartPlacement, in our case)!
“I don’t build systems for other people these days, but if I did, not a one would go out without PD11 installed and set for Stealth Patrol.”
Less hard drive failure leads to holding on to your hard drives longer. And being greener.
With or without the green beer.
