Review:

Most of us use standard Windows defragmenter and think that the job is done properly. Of course we use it because it's already installed and it's free, but, as you will see below, defragmentation can be done in various ways. O&O Defrag Professional offers several methods to optimize your drives. Here they are:

  • Stealth
  • Space
  • Complete/Name
  • Complete/Modified
  • Complete/Access

Stealth method is the longest but takes less CPU. It can be run in background and will not affect system performance. Space method uses more memory and CPU but is performed much faster. The last three methods take more time, but let user choose the way of sorting files on drives: alphabetically, by date of last modification or date of last access.

O&O Defrag Professional has also additional features, such as report generation and scheduling, which is especially useful for keeping system optimized.

Conclusion:

O&O Defrag Professional is really powerful tool. It is excellent as a commercial solution but not for home users who would rather pick some other, less effective, but free software.
