New functions in version 12:
All your  system‘s fles will be  sorted by O&O Defrag 12 according  to their  level of use, and each one will be separated  into  its own section of  the  hard  disk.  Thanks  to  the  division  into  drive  zones,  all  fles  are rearranged optimally after the defragmentation. O&O Defrag 12 introduces 3 new defragmentation methods, which work perfectly in combination with the previous methods. All of this will allow you to start your computer and its programs faster than before, and actually prevent any sudden increase in fragmentation. In addition, subsequent defragmentations will run much faster. Zone fling can also be supplemented by a user defned fle organization.

Creation and consequence of fragmented fles
Fragmentation can drastically slow your computer down. When saved by the operating system, fles are broken into fragments and dispersed across  the  entire  hard  disk.  Increased  fragmentation  ends  up  having an extremely negative effect on your access times. O&O Defrag is the perfect remedy. A defragmentation rearranges the individual data fragments and writes them contiguously on the hard disk. This is really the only way  for your computer  to  regain  its original power and performance.

Drive zones
The data is inspected according to set criteria, and then fled into separate zones on the hard disk. A special algorithm organizes the data optimally onto the disk following the defragmentation. System fles which have  to be accessed quickly,  for example, will be  separated  from  the rest. Between  the  zones  there  is  free  space  so  that  new  fles  can be immediately moved to the correct zone. This  logical organization considerably  reduces  the  time needed  for  future  fragmentation, and also prevents new fragmentation from occurring in the frst place.

Automatic defragmentation run
The O&O-OneClickDefrag wizard makes it easier to select the optimal strategy  for  automatic  defragmentation. Depending  on  how  you  use your computer, whether  for gaming or  for work, O&O Defrag confgures different strategies and combinations for automatic defragmentation, and over time, even adapts to new circumstances. In addition, you can set O&O Defrag to start the defragmentation whenever a certain fragmentation  level  is  reached on  the hard disk or partition. The defragmentation  can be  run on a  certain day of the week, or whenever your screen saver is active. You can stop or resume the defragmentation whenever you wish, since O&O Defrag  immediately recognizes where the defragmentation was stopped.

Power Management for Netbooks and Notebooks
The O&O IntelligentPowerControl technology ensures a special support for mobile systems. As soon as your Internet or notebook is separated from  external  power  resources,  O&O  Defrag  switches  to  a  standby mode and the defragmentation is paused. This guarantees that no battery power  is used  for defragmentation, and you can fnish your work with all available power resources. Once you reconnect your notebook, the defragmentation will be automatically resumed.
