New technologies are created every day. You shouldn't be an expert in computer sphere to enjoy all the benefits of technological advance. But nevertheless, constant PC users should have an idea how it works to guarantee maximum performance of their personal computers. When it comes to storing files on your personal computer you have probably come across the term fragmentation. In case there is not enough free space to keep the file as a once whole unit, the operating system fills the gaps between other files. The appearance of these gaps takes place when the system marks files as deleted and when there is extra space for the files located at the beginning. Fragmentation leads to significant loss in performance as the movement of the HD's read/write heads is much slower. That is why regular defragmentation is highly recommended. Defragmentation in its turn represents a procedure of reducing the amount of fragmentation. Such a result is achieved by organizing the contents of the disk to keep the pieces of every file close to each other. Defragmentation also includes the process of compaction with an attempt to create larger areas of free space. There are special defragmentation utilities designed to increased the performance of your personal computer. The process of defragmentation can take fifteen minutes or a couple of hours depending on the speed of your HDD and the amount of data kept on it. Take into account that this process cannot be interrupted to guarantee that all the data are safe. Regular defragmentation will guarantee high performance of your PC. |
