WarpDisk is an effective application to help users speed up the booting of Windows systems by defragmenting the file system.

Basically, WarpDisk is an defrag. However, it is not like other similar products. Traditional defragmenters are usually the services or applications that users use to scan the entire drive and find fragmented files. Then defrag all files found during the scan. Meanwhile, WarpDisk is a driver integrated into the file system, thus providing Windows with many powerful defrag features.

Moreover, WarpDisk comes with a unique Windows optimization and acceleration tool, thus significantly reducing the time users have to spend to avoid running Windows. Besides, this useful application also pre-reads files during boot and saves them to the cache for quick access.

WarpDisk will make a slow computer boot faster by optimizing the boot process and performing defragmentation in the background. Below is a technical description of how WarpDisk performs this process.

It is a fact that the file system fragmentation process will seriously affect the performance of the drive. Besides, Windows also takes a long time to boot on many different systems. So how can WarpDisk solve these problems?

Main feature:

File system defragmentation

NTFS is a preferred file system in Windows. It will store file data together in small units called 'clusters'. Large files can take up a lot of 'clusters'. The ideal solution is to store the clusters of each file consecutively on the drive. This will allow you to read and write files faster and sequentially. If each cluster of file is located immediately after the previous cluster. On the other hand, if the cluster is scattered on the drive, the reading process can be divided into smaller sections, resulting in a significant slowing of the read speed. This is called file system fragmentation. Fragmentation occurs when the file is added, removed and resized because the free space will be fragmented, thus leaving very little space to store new data. WarpDisk is your ideal solution at the moment. It is a system driver that helps you quickly defrag the file system.

Speed ​​up Windows startup

Windows usually takes a long time to boot. The reason for this is related to the file system fragmentation. The bottom line during the Windows boot process is the file system. Because many boot processes take place, the file system will try to accommodate all read requests by dividing them into several smaller read tasks. With WarpDisk, it makes Windows computers run faster, thus providing a completely comfortable experience.

Provide a new approach

Traditionally, defrag software is usually the applications or services that users use to launch on demand or at a certain time. WarpDisk brings a whole new approach. If the file system was previously responsible for keeping files defragmented, WarpDisk will extend the NTFS file system with powerful defrag features. The picture below describes how to do it. This image will give users a simple view of the file system structure with WarpDisk installed. The following figure shows how WarpDisk integrates into the NTFS file system driver. The above defrag driver will monitor the defrag feature. The Boot Cache Driver will make memory readable before Windows boots.

Use User Mode and Kernel Mode

The picture above depicts the two scenarios in which this software is running: User Mode (in green) and Kernel Mode (in red).

The user application runs in User Mode, while the operating system driver operates in Kernel Mode. User Mode refers to an execution status in the CPU where individual processes cannot access memory or program code in other programs and do not have access to all CPU instructions. The operating system driver can control what information users and applications can access.

Defrag more files

A disk defragmenter runs in User mode and can defragment only one file by interacting with other subsystems. First, the file will be opened, then the number of file transfer requests will be made after the file is closed. If the file is locked by another process or the disk defrag has no right to open it, the file cannot be defragmented.

WarpDisk does not cause this problem. It can defragment locked files and file systems that application defragmenters in User Mode cannot do. Only a few protected operating system files are not moved to WarpDisk.

The ability to detect fragmentation immediately

A typical disk defragmenter cannot detect fragmented files until the application is launched. The first thing a defragger can do is scan all files to find which one is fragmented. In other words, the file may be fragmented for a long time if the user does not have the habit of running defragments regularly. Besides, commonly used files can encounter serious fragmentation problems.

With WarpDisk, when all I / O requests go through the Defragmentation Driver which may cause fragmentation will be blocked. For example, it can happen when a file is created. The defrag process will immediately be detected and the user can proceed with defragment too.

Works in stealth mode

A disk defragmenter often slows down other applications' access to the drive because it has to share the drive with other applications. However, WarpDisk will integrate into the file system driver and know exactly when the drive is launched. For that reason, WarpDisk will decide when it is safe to perform defragmentation without compromising system performance. In addition, WarpDisk does not prevent files from being deleted or locked while defragmenting.

No user interaction required

A defragger is usually done on demand or at set intervals. This is sometimes annoying and does not keep the file system fragmented on a regular basis.

WarpDisk does not encounter this problem and constantly defragments the drive.

Optimize startup

The drive is usually used during Windows startup. All code and data needed for Windows must be loaded into memory to launch. Then there will be multiple images loaded at once, etc. No need for it, this will put a huge pressure on the drive.

WarpDisk will minimize this problem by reading data clusters during startup. That helps clusters of data can be read from the drive in a logical and efficient way.

System requirements:

  • Processor speed: 1 GHz
  • RAM capacity: 256 MB
  • Available hard disk space: 50 MB
