Defragmentation is the process of reorganizing and compacting files on a hard disk or SSD. Think of it as tidying up a cluttered shoebox full of notes, which represent files. When you use Windows, it tends to scatter new notes and place the pieces in the shoebox. So, when you want to open a file, Windows has to find these scattered "file fragments" and assemble them, which takes time and slows down your system.
O&O Defrag simplifies this shoebox by merging the file snippets and arranging them sequentially on the hard drive or SSD. Moreover, it optimizes the file order to reduce loading times. This enhances efficiency, saves time, and safeguards your data. Consistent use of O&O Defrag will notably boost your Windows system's speed and overall performance. Additionally, it can run in the background automatically, eliminating concerns about fragmented files.
