Defragmentation is a computer process that can be compared to home cleaning. In its course, all pieces of data that are scattered across the hard drive are collected and ordered. Why is defragmenting so important? Precisely because every computer suffers from a constant increase in fragmentation, if you do not organize the data, then the operation of the device noticeably worsens.
When does this happen?
Disk fragmentation occurs when a file is split into parts to fit on media. Since files are constantly written, deleted, and resized, fragmentation is a natural occurrence. When a file is distributed in several places, it takes longer to read and modify it. In addition, the consequences of fragmentation have much more serious consequences: poor PC performance, long downloads, random crashes and windows freezing, sometimes even a complete system inability to boot. Many users believe that these are operating system problems or simply think that their computer is “old” when hard disk fragmentation is the real culprit.
Fragmentation program
Software called Diskeeper® is the only solution that can actively eliminate and prevent up to 85% of fragmentation cases before this happens and then defragment the rest instantly. Fragmentation is a process that is better prevented than eliminated later if you want to have a fast and efficient computer all the time.
Your PC saves any files, so it is better to use the place on the hard drive more appropriately. Diskeeper has powerful instant defragmentation services that run for a second or a millisecond, and the information is stored as intact as possible.
How it works?
Diskeeper works unobtrusively in the background, maintaining excellent PC performance without user intervention: you just need to install and forget about it. While Diskeeper's background work is invisible and almost impossible to detect, the performance benefits are easy to see. Run the program - and you will see that your computer will experience less downtime, shorter boot time, higher network access speed and faster web browsing. In addition, if you prevent such a phenomenon as memory fragmentation, anti-virus scanning and downloading of various programs will occur much faster than you are used to seeing.
In addition, your personal computers, laptops and servers will last up to three years longer, saving money on unnecessary upgrades. Diskeeper is the best solution to prevent fragmentation and defragmentation. Only thanks to this software will you get a system that works at the optimum speed and with the best performance, reliability and energy efficiency.
Disk fragmentation - what is it?
First you need to figure out what constitutes this negative process. Fragmentation is a state of fragmentation or breaking something into parts, the process of converting an entire object into something free-standing, isolated or incomplete. Essentially, this is the process of distributing individual bits of data or information that are distributed over a large area of the disk and make its work harder and slower. Thus, each file is read much longer than it should be, this reduces the overall performance of the computer.
Fragmentation is a natural phenomenon, it constantly accumulates every time you use your computer. In fact, the more you use your device, the more information is split up and distributed. Over time, your PC will certainly have random crashes, freezing windows, and, in the end, the inability to boot at all. Many users in such cases think that they need a new computer.
Imagine if you had a piece of paper and you would tear it into 100 small pieces, and then toss them in the air like confetti. Fragmentation is almost the same thing, only it happens with the data on the hard drive every time you save a new file. Now imagine that you need to assemble each of these parts and put them together again, just to read the document. Defragmentation is just such a process. That is why it should be carried out as often as possible to prevent most serious slowdowns and malfunctions in the computer.
As mentioned above, Diskeeper® using IntelliWrite® technology gets quick access to the source of the problem. In addition, the software performs excellent prophylaxis by actively preventing up to 85% of fragments generated during the operation of the system. Thanks to the correct writing of files to disk without fragmentation, the hard disk can then quickly read a file that is entirely saved in one place, rather than jumping through multiple fragments to gain access.
Fragmentation Types
This process can occur in two forms: fragmentation of files or free space.
Fragmentation of files causes performance problems when reading files, while fragmentation of free space causes performance problems when creating and expanding files. In addition, it also opens the door to a host of reliability issues. With only a few fragmented key files, the system may become unstable and generate errors.
Fragmentation Issues
- System crashes and freezes.
- Damage and data loss.
- Failures while trying to download.
- Backup cancellations due to long wait times.
- Errors and conflicts between applications.
- Hard drive crashes.
- Weakening data security.
- Increasing the time for each I / O operation or generating unnecessary operations.
- Inefficient disk caching.
- Slow reading and writing files.
- Long virus scan time.
- Unnecessary I / O on SQL servers or slow SQL queries.
- Faster wear on hard drive components.
Using software for defragmentation, you will see how little effort is needed to increase computer performance and keep it working fast at any time.
Additional benefits
Diskeeper® software offers significant benefits when using sophisticated modern hardware technologies such as RAID, NAS, and SAN. SANs, NAS devices, enterprise servers, and even high-end workstations and multimedia-oriented desktop computers typically use multiple physical disks to provide fault tolerance. Since disk striping is not a very effective measure (due to their redundancy and the gradual fragmentation of all used media), using this program will significantly improve the quality of all of the above resources.
