In their own words
Disk SpeedUp
Disk SpeedUp is a Windows utility for analyzing and defragmenting drives, as well as optimizing individual files and folders. Its interactive drive map displays fragmentation results. Defragmentation modes can optimize placement for less frequently accessed files or prioritize frequently used ones. Scheduling lets users choose an action, frequency, time, and drives. It can also defragment system files at boot, including page files, registry hives, and hiberfil.sys. The utility offers SSD optimization settings, but its knowledge base says defragmenting SSDs is not recommended because it may reduce their lifespan. Supported file systems are FAT 16/32 and NTFS. Users can exclude files and folders, enable Disk Defrag in the Windows Explorer context menu through Glary Utilities settings, and set the computer to shut down after defragmentation. Glarysoft says the product is designed to avoid damage to drives or stored data and typically responds to technical questions and bug reports within one or two business days. It is listed as freeware at free, with no free trial. The download page lists version 6.0.1.17.
DymaxIO
DymaxIO is Windows performance software from Condusiv for reducing I/O bottlenecks and improving application response times. It targets physical and virtual PCs and servers, cloud systems, and I/O-intensive applications such as MS-SQL. Condusiv says the product can return over 40% of lost throughput and deliver 30%+ latency and throughput improvement. IntelliWrite optimizes writes, while IntelliMemory uses idle available DRAM for read caching. The software runs automatically in the background, requires no reboot and is described as having near-zero overhead. Supported systems include Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, as well as Windows Server 2008 R2 through 2025. It is described as hypervisor and storage agnostic, with support for VMware ESX/ESXi, Hyper-V, Xen, SAN/NAS, local and all-flash storage, Azure and AWS environments. DymaxIO requires 3GB of physical memory per server or VM, with 4GB recommended for optimum caching. Its dashboard reports eliminated read and write I/O, storage I/O time saved, and hourly views across 13 metrics. Annual client, server and host licenses are listed, and a 30-day server trial is available.
