O&O Defrag is a third-party disk defragmenter for Windows favored by system administrators and computer enthusiasts. Unlike the default Windows Defrag, this software defragments the entire hard drive instead of just the space currently in use. Best of all, it speeds up your system by sorting your files in order access.
