O&O Defrag 12 Professional for $19.95 (normally $49.95)

I’ve tried this defrag application in the past and found it to be one of the best out there.  Today I’m setting up a new notebook and decided I’d buy a copy to install instead of making do with the free defrag tools out there (eg. Defraggler or Smart Defrag).  In the process I noticed their store had a section for a coupon code so I started Googling.

I found out that the older version (11) of the application is available for free.  The downside is it doesn’t work with Windows 7, but I got the free license anyway.  If you’re not using Windows 7 you could probably make do with the older version so just follow the link below:

I then found a site that listed a coupon code for $10 off so I placed an upgrade order and used the code to get things for $19.95   I’ve got the free license in minutes and the upgrade license took a couple of hours to come through.

Though after all this I discovered you should NOT run a defrag on a SSD drive as it offers little to no benefit and can shorten the lifespan of your drive.  Oh well, I guess I’ll install it on my home PC instead.
