Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmented files in your hard drive, by physically organizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file close together.
Faster Performance
A more efficiently organized file structure will result in faster performance of your hard drive overall, as each file is stored complete in its proper location, making all files easier for the computer to find.
Freezes and Crashes
Defragmenting your hard drive can reduce the frequency of your computer "freezing" or "crashing."
Longer Life
When the files are better sorted, the hard drive simply doesn't have to work as hard. This protects the hard drive from overworking itself and potentially being damaged in the long run.
More Space
In the process of reorganizing the drive, larger continuous sections of free space are created, which is beneficial when installing applications or files which take up a lot of memory.
Productivity
Enhanced performance of your hard drive will lead to increased productivity in the home or office.
