Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2 V2.08:
High-speed disk defragmentation in the
background!
Johann Lueppen – 26 02 2007
Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2 tidies up your hard disk automatically every time you take a break from work,
ensuring that you never experience slowdowns caused by fragmented disks. The latest version of the
program is faster than ever before and also delivers significantly enhanced defragmentation performance.
Nowadays most users know that they need to install virus and spyware scanners to protect their computers
and many also use cleanup programs to get rid of unnecessary files that are clogging up their hard disks.
But very few take the trouble to defragment their hard disks, even though hard disk defragmentation is one
of the main reasons for reduced computer performance.
What is hard disk fragmentation and how does it happen?
When you save a file on a “fresh” hard disk all the data in the file is stored in the same place, as a single
block of data. If you then add more files they are also stored as single blocks of data, directly after the data
of the first file. This tidy situation changes when you start to erase files – this creates a “hole” in the
sequence of data blocks. The next time you save a new file the operating system will try to fill this hole, but
if the new file is too large to fit, part of the new file will be stored somewhere else.
“As you continue to work with the disk this happens again and again,” explains Johann Lueppen, the head
of public relations at Ashampoo. “In time, more and more files are stored in dozens of little scraps in
different locations all over your hard disk. The computer’s per-formance becomes slower because reading
these fragmented files takes much longer. Ashampoo Magical Defrag solves this problem by keeping the
disk unfragmented all the time, with all the files stored in single blocks of data that can be read quickly.”
Take a break and enhance your computer’s performance!
Defragmenting hard disks is normally a tiresome and time-consuming chore, which is the main reason why
so few users bother to do it. Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2 solves this problem once and for all because it
completely eliminates the work from hard disk de-fragmentation. Once you’ve installed it you can just forget
about it – it automatically de-fragments the hard drive whenever you take a break.
The intelligent program achieves this without interfering with your use of the computer in any way. As soon
as you press a key or move the mouse or an application program activates, Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2
automatically stops defragmenting, giving you full control of the computer’s resources again.
Magical Defrag 2 V2.08: Vista-compatible, much faster and better than ever!
Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2 V2.08 is compatible with Windows® Vista and now includes a real-time
graphical analysis that you can activate if you want to monitor defragmentation progress. The algorithms
and code of the defragmentation engine have been thoroughly overhauled and it now defragments hard
disks much faster and more efficiently than ever before.
“This version will definitely take fewer lunch breaks to completely defragment your hard drive,” comments
Ashampoo speaker Johann Lueppen with a smile. “In fact, once you’ve had it running for a while you’ll find
that your hard disks will be kept in optimum condition, so that you always get the best performance
possible. That’s a big advantage for all users.”
