System and program files that have to be accessed quickly, for example, will be separated from data such as documents and downloads. Depending on their designated use and access frequency, files are divided and moved into zones. Sorting drives into zones results in a logical separation of the database into performance- critical and non-critical files.

To make sure you have the fastest access times possible, keep the data on your disks arranged in perfect order.ĭefragmenting with O&O Defrag Free Edition merges the individual fragments from files and then sorts all data into separate zones. When saving data, the operating system scatters it all over the hard disk and this slows down the time needed for accessing files. Fragmentation can cause your computer to slow down drastically.
