Defragmenting a partition
Defragmentation is reorganizing file storage on a hard disk partition to locate
file data in the consequent clusters.
Defragmentation is the process of eliminating file fragmentation, causing files
to be spread across the disk after disk operations.
File fragmentation significantly reduces PC or server performance, especially
at considerable amount of I/O operations. Vice versa, file defragmentation
can increase performance, as the read head has to move less across the disk
to read all file parts.
