I've been using Ultimate defrag for years. It is a good product and better than most especially given the price. Easily comparable with some of the very expensive 'professional' options available out there. I definitely noticed a very positive effect on my FS environment as you have the ability to choose to put the software you use most in the fastest areas of the disc.
I've just installed the 14-day trial version of Ultimate Defrag, and am reading the manual. Looks very interesting; promising, even.
This has got me interested but..........where's the catch?
One of the products I have created as part of that passion is a hard drive defragmentation program called UltimateDefrag.
This message is not about UltimateDefrag (which incidentally there will be a version 5 coming out in around 3 months). This message is about a totally different product I have come across that I can say truly is The Holy Grail in improving your PC performance from the viewpoint of improving your hard drive performance.
I might not be reading this right but to me it sounds as though he is nailing down his own coffin in the business-wise sense!!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
PC Aviator are a company I respect, so I will at least wait and see what this latest flightsimming Holy Grail turns out to be.
That said, quoting UltimateDefrag in the same post doesn't exactly increase my excitement level. It looked superb, but crashed constantly for me and the support was nowhere to be found. I have found using a specialist defragger revolutionised my flightsim performance, but it's O&O I ended up going for and would recommend.
When I first had my own PC after retiring, I tried the free version of O&O then bought the full version. Less than six months later, I gave up using it as it insisted on rearranging the disc every time I ran it, even if I had just done a defrag ! For completeness, I'll add that this was when defragging a data drive, not the system drive. I'm now convinced that some of these products are coded to always do something so that the user thinks it must be a good thing ...
I'm not up for this one mate. Those 2 words put together make me very suspicious even though the boss of PCA has stuck his neck out with it. It's either very good as he says or very poor marketing IMHO
