In a nutshell, the security vulnerabilities allow an attacker, for example, to access any passwords stored in your web browser. All they need to accomplish this is a malicious JavaScript which would be placed within, as an example, an Ad banner on an otherwise completely trustworthy website. Read more…

Defragmenting an SSD does not lead to any performance improvement: it can even reduce the life expectancy of an SSD. This must be avoided either through automatic recognition by the operating system or by a defragmentation software. A regular and automatic run of TRIM commands can substantially increase the performance of an SSD and extend its life expectancy. Read more…

This great new feature searches for and removes temporary and unnecessary files that are taking up memory and increasing fragmentation. O&O DiskCleaner also increases the security of your data, as private content (e.g. Thumbs.db, copies of documents, drafts of emails, Dumps) will no longer be kept as copies in unnecessary system files.

The imaging program O&O DiskImage is compatible with conventional hard disks and SSDs. While cloning and restoring both types of alignment are considered. The program always prioritizes the alignment of the target disk. When restoring or duplicating to a Basic/GPT disk or empty area, the partitions are created according to this prioritization. If an image from a source partition of a conventional hard disk is restored or cloned on a SSD, the partition on the SSD always will be aligned to the SSD. Read more…
HDDs. The technology hasn’t really changed – moving parts with read and write heads – but the capacity has. The latest 3.5-inch HDDs go up to 4TB, with 2.5-inch drives having a max of 2TB. HDDs are still likely to be found in every household that has a laptop or PC, and similarly in every … Read more

Eine Festplatte ist wie ein Buch Man muss sich dazu eine Festplatte einfach wie ein Buch vorstellen (ein richtiges, kein Kindle). Das Inhaltsverzeichnis ist die Dateiverwaltungstabelle (FAT und MFT bei NTFS), das auf die einzelnen Kapitel des Buches verweist (die Dateien). Löscht oder formatiert man nun eine Festplatte, dann “reißt” Windows einfach dieses Inhaltsverzeichnis heraus, … Read more
Solid State Drives (kurz SSD oder auch „Flash-Laufwerke“) sind in den vergangenen Jahren immer populärer geworden und treten als sehr schnelle Speichermedien in Konkurrenz zu den herkömmlichen Festplatten. Durch den alleinigen Einsatz von Speicherbausteinen entfallen sämtliche beweglichen Mechanikteile einer Festplatte, was sich in einem geringeren Stromverbrauch und einer geringeren Wärmeentwicklung niederschlägt. Darüber hinaus arbeiten SSDs … Read more
Die Defragmentierung eines Windows-Systems bedeutet nicht nur eine Steigerung der Systemleistung insgesamt, sondern es schützt auch vor Fehlern, die aufgrund starker Fragmentierung auftreten können. Darüber hinaus erleichtert es auch die Rettung von Daten, sollte es einmal zu einem Absturz kommen, ohne dass eine zeitnahe Sicherung vorliegt. Die in Windows 7 integrierte Defragmentierung bietet ein Basis-Set … Read more
