- Recently reviewed a copy of Stacker 3.0 on a friend's machine...
-
- Let me tell ya, it is much more user-friendly than old Stackers,
- and has a Remove-stacked volume option that actually works!
-
- As for re-stacking a drive that was stacked under 2.0....
- My friend claims he got a spare 20 megs on his 300 meg hard
- drive, when restacking under 3.0. Stacker 3.0 has an option
- where you can specify the degree of compression you'd like
- in a trade off with speed. Low compression, high speed,
- medium compression, medium speed, high compression, low speed.
- In truth, we found very few differences between the three
- settings...
-
- Not sure the official release date of this, but look for it
- soon, as this copy was stable as a table!
