What is Disk Defragmentation or Drive Optimization?
Disk Defragmentation or Drive Optimization is an inbuilt technical feature in a Windows operating system. It is very important to do this frequently in a Windows operating system.
Purpose :
The main task of doing this is to increase the speed of the Hard Disk and arrange all the files in the hard disk according to the sequence.
How does it work?
At first when we buy a computer or laptop from outside, then we first partition it by Local Disk C D E F inside the hard disk. After creating the partition, store the data inside it. When you store it, the file is stored on the hard disk according to the sequence. Like this, by doing sequence 01011010......ok.
So we do not store data in the hard disk, we delete it, move it, copy it, paste it, When we delete the file in the hard disk, the file gets deleted from the area where it was stored in the hard disk, due to which there is an empty sector created inside the hard disk.
After this, when we save a big file again, then that file is divided into small pieces, the gaped that was made in between is saved first.Later, its saved to another place.
After this, the problem starts because when we access that file, the hard disk which is the read right head above the disk is sometimes accessed from disk one point and other point, due to hard dicks become heated, after that the hard disk performance was reduced and start lagging.
As a result, not only the hard disk but also the motherboard and the processor get heated, causing poor performance, and finally the computer went breakdown.
So to solve all these problems, Microsoft company developed a disk defragmentation program and it is very important to do it frequently on a computer or laptop.
After defragmenting the disk and seeing where the files are scattered on the hard disk, they bring them together and arrange the sequence, which eliminates our problem. And it improve life scale of hard disk and computer.
Procedure :
