O&O Defrag Pro 8.6.2294

O&O Defrag is a powerful defragmenter that solves the performance and stability problems of Windows caused by fragmented hard disks. 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. By using O&O Defrag, 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. O&O Defrag uses five different methods of defragmentation that were designed to meet the optimal needs of a specific system's purpose. Regardless of how many Megabytes, Gigabytes, or Terabytes your partitions contains; whether your hard drives are SCSI or IDE; or whether your hard drives are connected into RAID systems or not, O&O Defrag quickly, simply, and securely gets systems running Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating at their peak performance. New in version 8 is the ability to activate O&O Defrag whenever Windows has activated its screen saver. As soon as the screen saver is ended by the user, defragmentation is paused. Continuing defragmentation at a later time is always possible since O&O Defrag can detect where it last left off. This mode enables you to defragment your hard disk only when the computer is not in use, such as during your lunch hour or simply when you are away from your desk.
