General Software Discussion / Re: Anybody Know About DiskTune?

Thanks for the additional info, Steven.
IMHO this is superior freeware. I'm using it on two machines now: an aging IBM Intellistation Z Pro with a 36 GB SCSI hard drive and a Dell Dimension 3000 with a 250 GB Hitachi IDE drive. Both machines run WinXP. While DiskTune did not make much difference in performance on my IBM (I was already using JKDefrag), it actually worked some magic on my Dell: noticeably faster boot AND it seems to have eliminated an annoying (but intermittent) error message about Samsung's Status Monitor Manager (SSMMgr.exe) hanging when I used to reboot.
