O&O has released a new version of its defragmentation software for classic hard drives and SSDs. O&O Defrag is a quite popular, much-praised defragmentation software and, as the version number shows, has been for many years. I generally only write about products that I really use myself or at least would use, but O&O is one of the companies where new versions always attract my attention.
O&O Defrag reassembles the scattered file snippets that Windows transfer to our data carriers over time in such a way that the necessary number of accesses to the data carrier is reduced, which reduces the access time and, in the best case, even extends the life of data carriers.
What’s new in the O&O Defrag 29 defragmentation software
O&O Defrag 29 now also supports the ARM platform. This is pleasing for all those who use hardware based on the ARM architecture (Advanced RISC Machine). There is now an increasing number of products, so it is all the more gratifying that O&O Defrag 29 now also supports this platform.
New in O&O Defrag 29 is the O&O StartupManager. This is used to optimize the start of a computer. O&O StartupManager provides an overview of all programs and apps that are started automatically when a computer is booted. This includes detailed information about each program, including its influence on the startup time of a system. The O&O StartupManager. Helps the user decide which programs can be disabled to speed up the system startup.
The new O&O VisualDisk could be helpful in understanding and optimizing write accesses of a hard drive. O&O VisualDisk provides a clear representation of write accesses to hard disks as they take place on flash-based storage media such as SSDs and NVMe drives. This innovative feature is designed to show how defragmentation can help reduce future write accesses and extend the life of your SSDs. With O&O VirtualDisk, you get a clear picture of how the hard drive works and you can optimize its performance through targeted measures. This may also answer the question of whether defragmenting SSDs makes sense. I’m curious.
Another new feature in O&O Defrag 29 is BitLocker support for IntensiveOptimize. This means that the use of this particularly effective optimization method is now also possible for BitLocker encrypted system drives.
Check&Repair in O&O Defrag 29 extended: Sometimes the Windows rescue environment is damaged due to faulty updates and thus unusable. Therefore, Check&Repair in O&O Defrag 29 has been extended to fix such damaged rescue environments.
To this end, the user interface has also been revised and modernized.
But some exciting innovations in O&O Defrag 29. More information about the new features and also which functions the defragmentation software offers as a whole can be found here at O&O.
