Raxco Software's PerfectDisk Defragmenter Speeds Up World of Warcraft

Raxco Software, the leader in disk defragmentation software, noted today that its PerfectDisk® disk defragmenter can benefit World of Warcraft (WoW) players by completely defragmenting their entire drives, including WoW's large MPQ files. Defragmenting with PerfectDisk ensures the MPQ files and all data and system files on the drive are completely defragmented. In addition, the players' free space is consolidated with PerfectDisk's Space Restoration Technology™, so fragmentation is less likely to occur in the first place.

According to Blizzard Entertainment, the user base for World of Warcraft has reached 9 million players worldwide. These 9 million players are always on the lookout for ways to tweak their games and improve performance, whether through hardware or software.

One particularly difficult problem is WoW's MPQ files, which include data, graphics, sound and more. These MPQ files are very large and are updated regularly. When they are updated, they often fragment, which causes lagging and hangs during interactive game play. A common solution for WoW players is to use PerfectDisk to defragment the entire drive, including the MPQ files. A typical scenario for a WoW player enhancing performance includes this scenario:

1. Receive patch from Blizzard Entertainment
2. With AutoPilot Scheduling™, defragment the disk drive and
consolidate free space completely with PerfectDisk
3. Play faster.

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