O&O Defrag 29 Pro.......... Very Nice. Install and Forget

[tofargone]

The company trying to sell you defragging software is telling you that defragging is good? No way...

OK so don't buy groceries from Safeway, or tires from Goodyear, or Flowers from FTD. They are all lying, and just want to sell their product.

Pretty much.

If safeway was trying to tell you to drink bleach, or Goodyear was trying to sell you summer tires in Norway, then yes, AVOID IT. It's about context.

lately oh maybe in the last 20 years. I've noticed people don't seem to track with one another in conversation anymore.

My point was everyone sells their product, it's call capitalism. It works all over the world.

You then turn the conversation into a whole other topic. Safeway doesn't try and sell bleach for ingestion, and neither does Macrium sell an unsafe product. Please people stay on point. TY

I used to buy the O&O Defrag, the last one I bought was version 26 - I came to the conclusion it was a waste of CPU cycles, RAM & from my basic observation made not one jot of difference - I have two SSD's in this PC, a Samsung Pro 1TB & a 4TB Western Digital which is mainly used for storage - If or when the Samsung breaks I will replace it or I find something better without it breaking. Having a program running that again in my opinion does absolutely nothing (noticeable) & uses PC resources for me is pointless.

I use OO Bluecon and Defrag. Love this German software house. They have been around for years

there isn't really a need for defrag software nowadays as windows does it automatically but I do use a software that was technically made for defraging to reduce wear to storage and sometimes boost some programs that weren't programmed well by doing defrag in ram and using the ram as cache to cheat faster writes and over other caching software like primocache I'm pretty sure this one is one of the only ones that can be used somewhat dynamically (you can add other drives as cache by configuring options in command prompt)

But this software is stupidity expansive and personally I may have not aquired it ethically XD

And that company is a scientology cult that lies trying to sell defrag software rather then showing what is actual useful provided by their software as a superior primocache

( Very smart Defrag by default of only "critical fragmentation " in ram and dynamic caching are main features I can think of that primocache lacks )



The name of the software is dymaxio by condusiv and it's made by the same people that created the defrag tool used by windows and all of their benchmark is based on making unoptimized enterprise software 50% faster Wich should be solved by optimizing the enterprise software itself rather then using a different companies caching software that's marketed as a defrag tool as a patch XD

If you're defragging SSD, you should stop. There's no point in defragmenting SSD because it's fast any by doing so you're just unnecessary using cycles which will eventually result in your SSD dying.

If you want to keep your SSD in best shape, use the Windows built-in Trim feature.

windows does trimming automatically and both solves the defrag issues of ntfs (other os file systems barley have defrag issues and don't suck ) and has less wear then third party software may have on an SSD

I have a question about Trim feature in windows, I know windows runs its SSD optimizer by default on scheduled times, but is it wise to run Trim manually when I delete large amount of data, like 1GB for example?

Default is best and that's a small amount of data to move and would case issues
