O&O Defrag Professional Edition 6

Most of todayÔÇÖs performance talk revolves around CPU and graphics card performance and little is discussed about how optimizing disk I/O (Input/Output) can offer performance gains. In the world of performance, disk I/O is like the red headed step child. Defragging your hard drive can improve I/O performance by reorganizing the data on the platters in a more logical way. In Windows 2000Ôäó and Windows XPÔäó there lies a very chopped down version of a popular defragmenting software package called Disk-Keeper and lets face it, it doesnÔÇÖt do much in the face of optimizations and often takes several defrag runs to get any noticeable change (if youÔÇÖre lucky). I would like to add that the full version of Disk-Keeper is quite nice and does much more than the ÔÇťliteÔÇŁ version that Microsoft has slipped in there. This is where other utilities like O&O Defrag come into play.
