NTFS Optimization


As you know NTFS partitions get more and more redundant records about deleted files over time, which slows
down performance. On database servers that host MS SQL or Exchange it may cause severe performance
degradation. We include tools that help you organize valid and delete redundant records inside NTFS MFT (Master
File Table) in a couple of minutes, so you don't need to rebuild the system or defragment the entire disk when that
is the only problem.


Compacting MFT



  1. Click Disks & Volumes on the sidebar.

  2. Left click an NTFS partition in the working area, then select Compact MFT on the sidebar.

  3. By default, our program prompts you to shift MFT records to the head of the table ("Compact records") and
    then remove emptied table rows ("Truncate MFT"). Though it’s not recommended, you can disable any of
    these actions.

  4. If necessary, click Notifications to set up e-mail notification about successful completion and/or failure of
    the operation. Find more details in Notifications Settings.

  5. Click Compact now to start the operation immediately or Place in queue to add this task to the list of
    pending changes for later execution.
