What is Diskeeper and what does it do?
Diskeeper is a program designed to replace the standard Windows defrag application. As anyone who knows a thing or two about computers will tell you, defragging your disk is essential.

The file is then split into several sections and placed in the next available sector of the disk. This is called a fragmented file. Over time, more and more files we become fragmented as they shrink and grow, get deleted or moved. Fragmented files take longer to read than the non fragmented brothers.
