eDisk™   
Press Coverage   

eDisk™ has been reviewed in major industry publications.  Here are some excepts from reviews:  

"eDisk's speed can be attributed, in part, to its unique background-optimizing feature, which defragments the disk during idle time."  
- Don Fitzwater, ComputerUser  

Comparison to Stacker: "The eDisk cache is more flexible.... eDisk includes an option for background disk optimization... Users more interested in fine-tuning system performance will be happier with eDisk"  
- Dale Coleman, MacWEEK  

"We inflicted numerous crashes on expanded disks and found that data recovery was not a problem..."  
- Andy Ihnatko, MacUser  

"The prospect of entrusting an entire disk's worth of data to a compression product might seem intimidating. Yet, in many weeks of using Stacker and eDisk on several drives, we lost no data, even in extreme disk-full torture tests."  
- Dale Coleman, MacWEEK  

"...those who consider the highest compression ratio to be their most important criterion, eDisk has the advantage."  
- Andy Ihnatko, MacUser  

Documentation:  "eDisk's better than Stacker's"  
- Andy Ihnatko, MacUser  

"On a speedy Macintosh, applications on a compressed drive launch just as fast as on an compressed drive."  
- Don Fitzwater, ComputerUser  

"...eDisk did a very good job and resulted in  a roughly 2:1 compression ratio."  
-Tony Huang, Cornell University  

"Performance in terms of system-response degradation quickly became a nonissue in most operations."  
- Dale Coleman, MacWEEK  

"FWB BenchTest gave my hard disk a higher index with eDisk than without it."  
-Tony Huang, Cornell University  

Technical Support: "...We found the waits long and the (Stac Electronics) technical-support personnel somewhat curt (you'll get nowhere without a serial number) and not particularly knowledgeable of the nuances of Stacker. Alysis' support, also via toll call, is much more accessible, and in our experience, the members of the support staff were quite well-versed."  
- Dale Coleman, MacWEEK
