Defragmenting a partition
Defragmentation is reorganizing file storage on a hard disk partition.
Defragmentation is the process of eliminating file fragmentation, which causes
files to be spread across the disk after disk operations.
File fragmentation significantly reduces PC and server performance, especially
when intensive I/O operations are taking place. Conversely, file defragmentation
can increase performance, as the read head has to move less across the disk to
read all file parts.
