What is Disk Fragmentation on Windows and how does it optimize your hard disk?
In: 57
When you save a file on your computer, it is stored on your hard disk drive. Over time, as you add, delete or modify files, they can get scattered all over the hard disk, leaving gaps of unused space. This is called disk fragmentation.
Disk fragmentation can slow down your computer, as it takes longer for the hard disk to locate and read all the scattered file pieces. To optimize your hard disk, you can use a process called defragmentation, which rearranges the scattered file pieces into contiguous spaces, making it faster and more efficient.
