Pro Spacial integrity
PerfectDisk offers a unique approach to space management in that it actively recovers disk space by checking for file duplicates and eliminating them.

Know any negative aspects of this option?
Pro Benefits solid state and mechanical drives alike, including systems with both types
The standard TRIM function is used to maintain solid state drives while the defragment function services the needs of the spinning platter drives
Con Attempts to install additional software alongside it, and installs IObit Uninstaller without user permission
The package is becoming more bloated and encumbered with efforts to monetize it as it matures
