Disk defragmentation is a really serious issue as it slows down your computer over time and reduces the performance. Windows deframenting softwares is not only slow but also not very good at the task, so here’s our first freeware offering to you SmartDefrag.
But first some Jargon Buster:
Fragmentation : Refers to the condition of a disk in which files are divided into pieces scattered around the disk. Fragmentation occurs naturally when you use a disk frequently, creating, deleting, and modifying files. At some point, the operating system needs to store parts of a file in noncontiguous clusters. This is entirely invisible to users, but it can slow down the speed at which data is accessed because the disk drive must search through different parts of the disk to put together a single file.
