Some operating systems don’t require the systems challenging drive to be defragged, as it depends on which file program is in use, but essentially the most popular file systems are those created by Microsoft, as their PC’s are the ones most in use across the world. There are two primary Microsoft file systems currently in use, one is FAT the other is NTFS. FAT can be a really old file program, which has because been replaced by NTFS, but some users still use FAT. Fat is still employed either since it needs to be for compatibility reasons with other programs, or basically because the user isn’t aware of the benefits of utilizing NTFS or just do not know that it’s possible to change their PC’s file system to NTFS quite easily.

File space on a PC’s difficult drive becomes fragmented over time. This is because of the way in which the PC is utilized. Files are constantly becoming written to the disk, updated, deleted and moved, this is just the way PC’s had been developed to be employed. Regrettably,. The NTFS file program isn’t extremely excellent at handling this operations, and over time, the files become fragmented. Fragmentation essentially means that a file has been stored in it is own block, but is then deleted from that block, or moved to yet another 1. Due to the difference within the file size and also the block size, if a file would be to be store din this block, it may possibly not fit entirely in this block, so it’ll be stored in this block, but also stored in yet another block. Due to the file becoming separated (the end user has no understanding of this as it is done at a deep software program level), it then makes it a slower method to access this file, as instead of loading the file from one location or 1 block, it now has to load it from two. This is the basic notion of fragmentation.

Defragmentation essentially attempts to organise these files to ensure that there stored in chronological order, consequently creating it faster to access them. In all of Microsoft recent operating systems, you may uncover an utility known as something along the lines of ‘disk defragmenter’, depending on which version of their operating method you’re running. This utility is utilised to defragment the tough drive, and potentially speed up data transfer, and therefore cut down the users waiting time.
