To access this screen: click the Alert Settings item in the left pane of the Drive Preferences window.
Use this screen to customize warnings and alerts specific to the fragmentation, scheduling, or communication related issues in your computer for a specific drive. PerfectDisk itself is configured to show alerts and warnings (Dashboard tab) to the user when the disk's fragmentation reaches certain limit or if there are any other fragmentation and scheduling related issues.
The alert settings are already configured through PerfectDisk's Global Alert Settings screen for your computer. However, you can override those settings for each specific drive using this screen.
Click Override global settings to define your own alerts and warnings to address different fragmentation, free space, or communication related issues for each specific drive.
