DiskZIP 2017 Utility Accelerates Disk Read Speed, Also on SSD

DiskZIP Computing has launched DiskZIP 2017, a disk compression utility for Windows users, power users, administrators and networks.

It includes patent pending technology which accelerates disk read speeds, even on SSD hardware already very fast; while also making more space available on disks which are accelerated – a positive side effect of the acceleration technology.

It is faster for modern CPU’s to read compressed (shorter) data from a disk and then to decompress it in memory, then it is to read uncompressed (longer) data from a disk, even if nothing needs to be decompressed after. The patent pending technology includes five distinct compression algorithms, each designed for a specific class of disk.

The slowest disks, referred to as HDD benefit from the compression algorithm. These disks are very slow, and it compresses data as tightly as possible, to minimize the amount of time spent reading from disk, thus maximizing overall read performance and accelerating disk read speeds.

The fastest disks, referred to SSDs, benefit from the quickest DiskZIP compression algorithm. These disks are already very fast, so it compresses data in as little time as possible, letting the fast underlying storage share more of the burden of reading data. Even on SSD class devices, DiskZIP accelerates disk read performance noticeably.

DiskZIP comes in a package supporting all Windows versions available, and accelerating disks in a click. Should a user decide to undo the acceleration, this is also supported within the software.

In addition to disk acceleration and the space increase effects of DiskZIP, it is also possible to use it as a line of defense against malware. After a disk has been accelerated, all of its data as found at the time of its acceleration becomes impregnable to malware. While malware may still wreak havoc on a PC and delete files created and/or modified after the time of acceleration; users may employ the one-click ‘System Refresh’ function built-in to the DiskZIP package to reset their PC and get rid of the malware instantly.
