Defragmentation

Term used to describe the process of reorganizing a hard disk drive's data to help increase the proficiency of accessing the data. Hard disk drives that are severely fragmented will take longer to access the data because it is spread across the drive and not located in a central area.
  • An example of a utility that organizes the disk drive is Microsoft's defrag utility. Additional information on the Windows program defrag can be found on our defrag page.
  • Another great defrag utility is Diskeeper by Diskeeper.
