Promo2day Contest O&O Defrag 22 Optimize Hard Disks And SSDs

[tarekma7]

Files are often stored in pieces (fragments) onto the disk or onto the file system. The size of the fragments depends on the cluster size of the respective file system. File fragments spread across many blocks. This fragmentation is the main cause of significant losses in performance in Windows. Due to the fact that the hard disk is the slowest component of a computer, its optimization is an especially important issue.

O&O Defrag is a professional defragmentation solution for Windows based computers. The program solves the performance and stability problems of Windows workstations and servers caused by fragmented hard disks. Files can be read and written much more quickly. What at first seems to be lost performance can easily be rediscovered and realized again with O&O Defrag, giving you the peace of mind that your hardware is in good health and operating optimally. 

Don’t let a slow computer spoil your work or fun! Let O&O Defrag optimize your hard disks and SSDs and you can experience speed increases of up to 100%! Regular disk defragmentation optimizes your PC performance! There is nothing worse than when you want to do something on your PC and your computer is running slow. A disk defragmenter used regularly can speed up a PC of any age and get it working like new again!

When you defragment, the files that Windows splits up when saving documents across the hard disk or SSD are put back in order again so that files can be quickly recognized and found by the SSD or the read and write heads inside your HDD. Speed increases of up to 100% are not uncommon, and your hardware suffers much less wear and tear!

Defragmentation methods:



You can defragment the entire computer, selected drives or even folders and files

The first time you do defragmentation may take relativley long time according to your hard drive status. It is better to use the STEALTH or SPACE methods for the initial defragmentation to optimize and consolidate your hard disks very quickly and efficiently. Thereafter the complete method can be used

Zone filling:

The division of drives into zones enables the logical separation of the data into performance critical and non-critical files. The system drive is divided into 3 zones by default. You can enable or disable this feature. In addition, you can configure zones according to your needs

New SOLID defragmentation method: 

SSDs store file fragments spread across many memory blocks, even though much fewer would suffice. This memory behavior has an immediate effect on the performance and lifespan of an SSD. To counteract wear and at the same time to optimize the performance of SSDs, O&O Software has developed the new defragmentation method SOLID. By using SOLID, these distributed file parts are defragmented so that in the future significantly fewer memory cells have to be read out and also written to when changing a file. As a result, the SSD is faster as the number of read and write accesses is reduced by the defragmentation. In addition, the premature wear of the SSD (and of course the conventional hard drive) is prevented because fewer blocks need to be erased and rewritten than before the defragmentation with SOLID.

If you spend a lot of time on your PC, slow system and program starts or system crashes while playing can be very frustrating. Periodic defragmentation often works wonders in bringing new life to a PC.

O&O DiskStat



O&O DiskStat enables you to analyze used space on your hard disk with the help of Charts (Pie chart or Bar graph). As soon as you start the program, you are presented with a concise overview of your entire hard disk. With the help of O&O DiskStat, you can identify and dispose of superfluous files, saving yourself valuable hard disk space in the process!

O&O DiskCleaner



The brand new in-built O&O DiskCleaner searches for and removes temporary and unnecessary files that are taking up memory and increasing fragmentation. O&O DiskCleaner also increases the security of your data, as private content (e.g. Thumbs.db, copies of documents, drafts of emails, Dumps) will no longer be kept as copies in unnecessary system files.

Fragment Filter
This feature helps to identify the most fragmented files on a drive

Benefits of a clearly laid out hard disk
Whenever it saves data, Windows scatters file fragments all over the hard disk and this slows down access times considerably. Defragmentation reverses this by rearranging data and speeding up access times dramatically. This not only saves the user time, it also reduces wear on hard disks and extends their life expectancy. Defragmentation can even make the difference if you lose important data because chances of full recovery are better on a defragmented disk. Why? After defragmentation, it’s easier for data recovery software such as O&O DiskRecovery to restore files when they’re not scattered across multiple areas of a hard disk.

Automatic background defragmentation
Automatic defragmentation can be configured with just three clicks and optimizes your disks behind the scenes with no negative impact on your computer’s performance. You can set O&O Defrag to run defragmentation at a certain level of fragmentation, on particular days of the week, or whenever your screensaver is being used. Defragmentation can be paused and resumed whenever you want because O&O Defrag automatically recognizes where defragmentation was interrupted.

Recommended use
We recommend manual defragmentation for PCs that are being used heavily because only a user can decide when the time is right to give up the performance needed for running defragmentation. On computers using video editing or graphics applications, O&O Defrag can be configured to not start automatic optimization while certain programs are running. The default settings in O&O Defrag are more than adequate for ordinary desktop PCs running mainly internet or office applications. O&O Defrag is also perfect for notebooks. Whenever an external power supply is disconnected, O&O Defrag automatically goes into pause mode to save energy

Drive status:

This tool displays information about the conditions of selected drives before and after defragmentation.



Scheduled Jobs:

Regular defragmentation maintains top performance of your computer. The program offers a scheduling system so that no need to run defragmentation manually each time. Simply define the time, the activity and the additional parameters for defragmentation. All job settings may be specified from the settings dialogue.



Extras:



There are many built-in features and tools that are available under the button extras. These include;

Check drive: this is a built-in feature to check the drive for errors

O&O ClusterInspector: This is a tool for checking how the hard disk is being used

Determine file position: this feature allows to find out where and how a certain file is located

Wipe free space

TRIM:  Defragmenting an SSD does not lead to any performance improvement. It can even reduce the life expectancy of an SSD. This must be avoided either through automatic recognition by the operating system or by a defragmentation software. A regular and automatic run of TRIM commands can substantially increase the performance of an SSD and extend its life expectancy.

Connect to computer: The network function serves to control O&O Defrag from another computer in the network.

Comparison of different versions of O&O Defrag:

The program is available in 4 editions including; Professional, Workstation, Server, Windows
