Our computer is constantly producing disk
fragmentation in use. These fragmentation are result from our operations on
computer such as file creation and file deletion. The disk fragmentation may
seriously affect the daily use.
What is disk fragmentation? In the process of file saving and deletion,
the available space on the hard disk become scattered. These scattered
fragments are called disk fragmentation. The long time accumulated
fragmentation result in inefficiency in disk access and even loss of disk
files. What makes it worse, the life of hard disk will be shortened. Therefore,
we need to defragment the hard disk regularly to avoid quickly wear and tear. But it’s important to note, please do not read and write to the hard disk, and do
not defragment the hard disk too frequently.
Today, I’d like
to share with you the benefits of
regular disk defragmentation.
1.
Reduce
the search time of hard disk
In the process of data reading, the head
swings back and forth to make it. If the files are not continuously stored, and
there are too much fragmentations, the head needs more time in swinging to read
data. That will degrade performance of hard disk.
2.
Improve
disk performance of file reading
The head can directly position the
sector of files when the disk is reading a continuously stored data. It can
read them linearly at a time. The head do not need to wing for a long time again
to read data, then the reading and writing to the disk speeds up.
3.
Prolong
the hard disk life
Now most of disks we use are mechanical
hard disk. The discontinuous data storage directly impacts the life of hard
disk. To form a good habit of regular disk defragmentation is the most
effective way for disk maintenance.
These are the
advantages of disk defragmentation. Notice that defragmentation too often are
won’t be good. You’d better fragment the hard disk bi-weekly.
If you made a
misoperation in the process of disk defragmentation, you accidently deleted a
important file or file folder, you do not need to be panic. That is perfectly
normal. If you need to recover them, a data recovery software such as Hata recovery software can easily
recover them. If you still cannot get your files back by
data recovery software, you can ask data
recovery organization and their technical support team for help.
