What is Hard Disk Defragmentation ?
In the picture on the right you can see how badly and disorganized or fragmented the files are stored on a typical hard disk. The red spots are all fragmented or broken up file pieces. The time required for a CPU to access data on this hard disk will be very high reducing hard disk performance and speed. The fragmented files or the pieces of a file stored in different locations on your hard disk makes your computers central processing unit (CPU) to look for those pieces of files and join them before executing the file or instruction Windows wants it to do. This causes a delay because of the excess time taken to access the fragmented data stored on your hard disk. Thus data access times can drastically slow down your overall computer performance. This happens with all PC & Laptop within a few days of use. Thus the money you spent to buy a super fast CPU actually gets wasted if you do not regularly defragment your hard disk to organize your fragmented files and data to re-arrange and reo
