Product Description:

For HFS disks, all features of DiskExpress Pro are fully functional including automatic background optimization of the startup disk without the need to restart, optimization by file activity, disk analysis, manually optimize multiple drives, specify optimization schedules and options for individual drives or groups of drives, schedule optimizations to occur periodically (e.g. daily, weekly, etc.) or based on an hourly/daily calendar, control DiskExpress Pro using AppleScript, adjust DiskExpress Pro sensitivity to I/O, and erase free space during optimization. The update for HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) disk optimization is on track for later this year. For these disks, Alsoft continues to make PlusOptimizer available. A long history of safe, complete and convenient optimization makes DiskExpress Pro the obvious choice for Macintosh drive optimization. DiskExpress Pro maximizes drive efficiency with its patented ability to place files on the drive based on how frequently they are actually used and its unique capacity to fully optimize a drive while it is in use, eliminating the need to restart.

R.H. -- I think DE Pro is a dinosaur. Alsoft claims that development is slow because it must be tuned to each version of the OS; but they are now 3 OS versions behind (9.0, 9.0.4, 9.1) and soon to be 4 (when X ships). So I wouldn't hold my breath expecting DE Pro to ever become current again. Look for it to fade away. Pity.

be the best of its breed -- except that Alsoft seems to have given up on trying to keep up with Apple. The program has stagnated at compatibility only up to MacOS 8.6 (with no HFS Plus) -- and yet, they have the gall to claim that DiskExpress Pro is still the most technologically advanced! (Not if it doesn't work, it isn't!)
