System LifeGuard 2 offers you the Disk Defragmenter, a tool that helps you optimize the way your disk space is used to store files. It comes with a 15 day free trial so you can test the benefits of this award winning product.
File system starts out with all or most of its files contiguous, and is getting more and more fragmented as a result of the file creation and deletion over the time. The beginning of a file can be located at the end of a hard disk, the middle part can be situated at the beginning of this hard disk and the end part of the file can be located anywhere on your hard disk, files becoming spread all over the disk.
Hard disks store data in chunks called sectors. The surface of the disk can be shown as divided into rings (like the rings of a tree), and then imagine dividing each ring into pie-slices, a sector is one pie-slice on one ring. Every sector contains a fixed amount of data, like 512 bytes.
The disk has a small arm that can move from ring to ring on the surface of the disk. To get to a particular sector, the hard disk changes the arm to the right ring and waits for the sector to spin into position.
Hard disks are slow in computer terms. Compared to the speed of the processor and its memory, the time it takes for the arm to move and for a sector to spin into place is an eon.
When you use your PC, the disk space used to store different data can be fragmented.
Disk Defragmenter analyzes local drives and consolidates fragmented files and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the drive. As a result, your system can access files and folders and save new ones more efficiently. Try it for Free – 15 day trial.
Optimize your hard PC using Disk Defragmenter function.
