A life expectancy for a PC of three to five years is no longer a rarity, especially since by Windows 10 many older PCs with a modern operating system can be used even longer. However, this also results in a significant loss of performance in the long run, since the continuous storage and deletion of files dramatically increases the fragmentation, resulting in noticeably longer access times during loading. The same applies to the temporary files created by many applications, which slow but surely "fill" the system and thus also reduce the speed during the daily work on the PC. For this purpose, the defragmentation algorithms have been improved with a view to saving the system resources and a better strategy when placing the files for even faster file access. In addition, O&O DiskStat is available free of charge for O&O Defrag users as a standalone application for finding and removing large and unnecessary files, in order to be able to clean up with a few clicks in case of storage shortage.
As requested by many customers, the O&O DiskCleaner function has been optimized once again in O&O Defrag and now allows for the automatic deletion of superfluous files in combination with a subsequent defragmentation for the maximum gain in performance. SSDs store file fragments spread across many 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 the defragmentation method 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.

What is new in version 21.0.1115:
Version 21.0.1115: O&O DiskStat 3 Full Program integrated. O&O DiskStat provides you with an overall view of just how your hard disk is being used. It lets you track down those files and folders that are taking up too much space on your hard disk, and causing your computer to slow down. You can sort by category, file type, view them in Explorer and export them as a table. A further major function to speed up your systems. Improved optimization of O&O DIskCleaner: As requested by many customers, the O&O DiskCleaner function has been optimized once again in O&O Defrag and now allows for the automatic deletion of superfluous files in combination with a subsequent defragmentation for the maximum gain in performance.
What is new in version 20:
Version 20: O&O DiskStat integrated. O&O DiskStat provides you with an overall view of just how your hard disk is being used. It lets you track down those files and folders that are taking up too much space on your hard disk, and causing your computer to slow down. You can sort by category, file type, view them in Explorer and export them as a table. A further major function to speed up your systems. Improved optimization of SSDs: File systems on SSDs fragment heavily. As well as regular TRIM optimizations, O&O Defrag 19 also improves the structure of the SSD file systems by optimizing the most fragmented files to increase performance and life expectancy.
What is new in version 19:
Fully compatible with the new Windows 10. 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. Improved optimization of SSDs: File systems on SSDs fragment heavily. As well as regular TRIM optimizations, O&O Defrag 19 also improves the structure of the SSD file systems by optimizing the most fragmented files to increase performance and life expectancy.
What is new in version 18.0.39:
Now integrated into Cloud IT Management solution O&O Syspectr.
Limitations:
30-day trial
