We have written a more detailed blog entry on this topic explaining how an SSD is constructed and the exact process that leads to fragmenting and wear and tear.
Also new: ClusterView for SSDs: In order to represent the degree of fragmentation of an SSD, the ClusterView now maps the logical structure of an SSD so that, accordingly, 6 blocks are combined into one.īoth methods sustainably extend the life of the SSD but differ in terms of the duration and protection of the hardware. SOLID/QUICK: This method, developed specifically for SSDs, performs a superficial optimization of the SSD. SOLID/COMPLETE: This method, developed specifically for SSDs, is a thorough optimization of the SSD. The result is the SSD running faster and its life expectancy increased on account of reduced read and write accesses.Īlong with the new SOLID/COMPLETE, the existing SOLID/QUICK method has been extended: it is now faster than COMPLETE and suitable for an occasional faster defragmentation: This leads to fewer read and write accesses to these memory cells. The solution: This is where O&O Defrag 23 goes to work with its new SOLID/COMPLETE method: scattered file fragments will be reconnected and saved in fewer memory cells. In order to avoid fragmentation, you’d need to know all the newly arriving files as well as all changes and deletions in advance. This can’t be avoided because files are subject to constant changes. This means that over time, files will no longer be filed consecutively but, instead, be scattered across the computer’s entire storage area. The problem: every file system is fragmented. So far, there were only rudimentary approaches to restore the original speed of an SSD. But that’s not true, because like any system that wants to save files quickly, files are distributed over the entire memory over time.
SSDs have many advantages: they are fast, small and strong in memory.
Our new O&O Defrag 23 Pro is now available with some groundbreaking new features! With O&O Defrag 23, we present our SOLID/COMPLETE method, which enables a unique performance enhancement.
