For the 12th consecutive year, Microsoft has recognized Raxco’s accomplishments by naming us a Microsoft Gold Partner again, for 2012. This award does not come easily, and we don’t take it lightly. There are numerous requirements to achieve this honor. Most notably, there is a long set of requirements and tests PerfectDisk has to go through. Microsoft engineers put PerfectDisk through a rigorous set of usability, functional and compatibility tests to ensure it meets Microsoft standards.

While we get some gold plaques for our walls, our customers get the satisfaction and comfort of knowing PerfectDisk is part of Microsoft’s elite set of certified applications.

The SSD: To Defrag or Not To Defrag?
