Software Description
What are Disk Fragments? The same as file fragments, disk fragments are created by the allocation of files to free space on a magnetic disk. What is defragment? Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file close together and contiguously. It also attempts to create larger regions of free space using compaction to impede the return of fragmentation. Some defragmenters also try to keep smaller files within a single directory together, as they are often accessed in sequence. Visualisation of the fragmentation and defragmentation on the right hand image. Why Disk Fragments a problem? Any storage action on the magnetic disk like creating, deleting, moving, updating and copying files will lead to fragmentation and consequent performance loss. As time goes by, this accumulation of fragments on your hard disk becomes bigger and bigger. As the hard disk reads and merges these separate fragments every time you open a file, they will eventually cause problems such as system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startup and shutdown, and will even shorten the life span of your hard drive. That is why defragmentation is so important for your entire computer system. Advanced Defrag – The better and easier defrag solution! You may find various defrag programs in the market, they may look the same, but many of them lack of ability to How it works? Your hard disk controls a magnetic head which searches the areas where the parts of the required file are located,
Your computer stores files to the first free space available, and if that space is not large enough, the excess parts
of the file are stored on the next piece of available space, often resulting in a file being split into a number of different
fragments which then have to be reassembled whenever that file is used. This takes time and additional computer
power. It is recommended that you make a practice of defragmenting your computer’s hard disk everyday to keep
them optimized as much as possible.
effectively defrag all the MFT (Master File Table), they will automatically skip certain system files with extensions
such as DLL, INI, COM etc during the defragment thus left remnant fragments after each defragment action, it can
also easily get halted while defragging which is very user-unfriendly.
Advanced Defrag rectified all the cons above from these defragmenters, and the efficiency is even better. Its advanced
defragment arithmetic not only enables you to fast defrag, but also defrag completely and thoroughly. If you would
like to give your PC hard disk a completely care and experience the most efficient defrag technology, Advanced
Defrag is the perfect choice for you.
reads the data and transfers these fragments to the disk cache or EMS memory. The time this takes is called the
average seek time. The average seek time of most hard drives is less than 9.5 millisecond. The Advanced Defrag
program is able to collect the various fragments of each file and store them very quickly into contiguous space on
the hard disk which greatly reduces the seek time of the magnetic head. Better file reading and writing speed is
provided as a result. It does make a difference if you have got used to work and play with a fast and smooth system.
It also helps to prevent premature hard drive problems and retrieve the data in the event of a drive crash.
