Can you more clearly define your request?
Software for what purpose?

These are two of the best. Pay to play though.

I used to use Perfect Disk, but recently I found O&O, and it kicks PD's ***.

I also like O&O Defrag 8.5. Very deep defragging, and you can even re-organize your whole HD by File Location or by "Last Used", or just do a very deep "Compacting" of the drive's data.
Spinrite is a good recovery tool to have on hand IMO.
ATTO (the 256MB version, not the regular 32MB version) is also a great benchmarking tool to have on hand, and it won't fudge your actual transfer speeds - even on my RAID-5 card with 256MB of DDR333 RAM! Other HD Benchmarks will use my card's onboard RAM, and show insanely fast (impossibly fast) HD transfers. This is the only free one I have found that accurately shows bandwidth on cards with a large internal cache.

How so? I've used both and though O&O has a few more options to defrag with(by date, last modified, etc.), I can't say if it's better or not.SavageBasher said:I used to use Perfect Disk, but recently I found O&O, and it kicks PD's ***.

Spinrite

Falled in love with this piece of powerfull proggy when it helped me spotted a "huge" chunk of space used by forgotten & no longer used DVD ISO files, and they were buried in deep-deep nested folders.
Highly recommended ! Though you won't use it everyday, you'll appreciate it at the moment when you do house keeping at your drive.

It creates a pretty graph of all the files on your hard disk, makes it really easy to clean up the drive (it shows larger files as larger rectangles and color codes by file type).
