If you have a hundred Legos on the table, and I asked you to hand me all the red ones, it’ll be a lot faster to get all the red ones if they’re already sorted by color. If they’re not sorted by color, it takes more time to work around all the other other colors to find all the red ones and you have to pick them up one by one instead of grabbing them by the handful. A fragmented disk is like having the Legos on the table all willy nilly, but disk defragmentation sorts them by color for you so they’re easier for you to find.
