Disk defragmentation— Make computers run faster soon
Oct 27th
It is a desire hope for everyone to get a faster computer in order to happily enjoy every day with computers. When realizing the computer is running slower, the reasons they always think of may be something like lower configuration, too many programs or hijacks of the antivirus. They rarely realize that there is another factor that will greatly affect the entire PC performance. That is disk fragmentation, which plays an important role in speeding up the computer.
We all know that disk fragments are the same as file fragments, which are always caused during the process of creating/ deleting / updating files and folders, installing new software or downloading files on the computer. When there is not enough free available space for the same file, the file will be scattered into different pieces and then stored in different places of the hard disk. Here come the disk (file) fragments. Days by, as you delete or remove files/folders from the computer, there will be some empty gaps left behind, making the next storage action cannot locate in a single directory together. As the computer become more and more fragmented, it will take more time for the hard disk head to move too much to reach or reassemble the file/folder that we want to read/write, resulting in a slower a computer. Moreover, it will sometimes cause the freeze-ups and crashes of the computer, which will seriously impact our working efficiency and reduce the lifespan of the disk.
So what can we do to avoid this inevitable problem? The recommended solution is to run a disk defragmentation regularly. Defragmentation is a process that will rearrange the location of the files/folders on the computer so as to make the same files/folders only locate in a specific place of the computer so as to reduce the fragments on the computer. Also, it will create more available free space for the next storage action. Hence, the files/folders will be located at the same place together and contiguously, which will make the computer run faster.

Disk Fragmentation – How To Avoid Disk Fragmentation
Oct 27th
Disk Fragmentation could cause slow data assess speed and therefore poor computer performance. What is worse, it can reduce the lifespan of your disk drive and increase the chance of data loss.
Fragmentation or fragment is not in favor of computer performance and data safety. We can defragment disk regularly to reduce the amount of them, increase computer performance and data safety. That is an effective way to avoid the problems that it result in. But we can avoid it otherwise.
Actually, fragmentation is not inevitable. It is avoidable. Here is the tips you can use to avoid it.
1. Separate hard disk into several partitions. Save the files which experience many more reads to a dedicated partition. And the files which are written and deleted frequently to other partitions.
2. Create a dedicated folder in Partition D and name it as Temp (of course, you can create folder in the volatile partition and name it otherwise). Then open Internet Explorer and click Tools. Then click Setting button in the Browsing History area. Then click Move Folder and select Temp folder. This way can effective reduce fragment that is generated by using the IE.
3. Create a folder in partition D and name it as My Documents. Then go to desktop and right click My Documents. Then click Properties. Then set the Target Folder as d:\My Documents.
Those tips can effectively avoid the fragmentations. Because you set partition D as a dedicated zone which is used to save temporary files. So the fragments generated by IE and My documents will in Partition D.
But to reduce the amount of fragments, you should defragment your disk regularly. You can use Advanced Defrag to conduct defragmentation to help you avoid all the problems that result from fragmentations.
