When your computer writes data to your drive, it does so in &#8220;blocks&#8221;. Fragmentation happens when those files get split between blocks that are far away from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer. The hard drive then takes longer time to read files because the read head has to &#8220;visit&#8221; multiple spots on the spinning platter.<\/p>\n<p>Disk Defragment puts those blocks back in sequential order, so your drive head doesn&#8217;t have to run around the entire platter to read a single file, this will result in improvement of the startup speed of programs and files and your disks and drives can work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>The open source software <a href=\"http:\/\/smartpcutilities.com\/gamefire.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Game Fire<\/strong><\/a> provides a small utility to defrag disk files in order to enhance games and programs startup speed.
