| Also
known as disk compression, a disk optimizer is a software program
designed to organize data and/or compress data allowing the disk drive to contain the maximum amount of information
as possible.
A good example of a disk compression
software program is a Microsoft
Windows utility known as double space.
With today's large hard disk drives,
disk compression utilities are no longer used and no longer
recommended. Generally, a disk compression utility should be used on
hard disk drives of 1 gig and smaller.
The Microsoft Windows utility defrag
can be considered a disk optimizer and is still commonly used and
recommended even on large hard disk drives.
