We have been trying out and testing different hard drive defragmentation tools and applications to speed up the PC and increase its performance and most of them did work out really well. This time lets try out software called ‘O&O Defrag’ which is going to activate the hidden performance of your PC and optimized your hard disk drive in a different way.

Product Information – Download

The first and most important feature of this software is that it allowes you to defragment a single folder or file with the context menu options, rather than formatting the whole drives which can take up a lot of time and your system resources. At times you have folders with thousands of files under it and if you would defragment them, it would help you increasing the performance, which is when softwares like these would come in use.

The Main screen of O&O Defrag shows you with options like Defragment Computers, Enable OneButton Defrag, Enable Monitoring, and a detailed clusters per block section where you can find the free, fragmented, compressed, allocated & system files.

The Background Monitoring tool offers you to analyze and automatically defragment newly added files on your drives. Its automatically scans for the new added or modified files in the background and makes sure the your hard disk is performing better.

The OneButton Defrag wizard allows you to automatically defragment your drive or activate the defragmentation process manually. The settings tab allows you to create reports and also exclude files from defragmenting. You can also perform a drive check to make sure there are no errors before the defragmentation process is started and also you can show removable drives and defragment them.

There is a Advanced Drive Status view option where you can find lot of information about drive partitions like the total size, free size, total number of files/folders in the selected partition, total analyzed folders & files. Along with this you can also setup scheduled jobs for defragmenting the drives on a regular basis say once, weekly or on selected weekdays and scheduled time, with a detailed report being generated at the end of defragmentation.
