Definition

Fragmentation, also referred to as file system aging, is the fragmenting, or scattering of files which occurs when a system can no longer organize data in a sequential or related pattern.
Function
-
System defrag software is used to retrieve scattered pieces of files and reorganize them, placing them close to one another on the hard disk. System defrag software also frees up space which enables the computer's system to place new digital data in related areas or directories.
-
Process
-
System defrag software commonly defrags a file system by consolidating, or grouping together, related directory information into one space for better organization and faster retrieval. It also relocates data that is not frequently accessed to a location farther away from the directory to cut down on congestion.
