O&O Defrag creates a detailed status report about the fragmentation level once the analysis has been completed: Defragmentation can even make the difference if you lose important data because chances of full recovery are better on a defragmented disk.Īfter the first start of O&O SafeErase you can get your license by clicking on “I would like to enter my license number or purchase a license”.īy analyzing hard disks, you can get an overview of how files are arranged on a drive, and how heavily fragmented they are. This not only saves the user time, it also reduces wear on hard disks and extends their life expectancy. Defragmentation reverses this by rearranging data and speeding up access times dramatically. Whenever it saves data, Windows scatters file fragments all over the hard disk and this slows down access times considerably.
