Ashampoo Magical Defrag
Charlie LeBer - As presented at the Nov 13th, 2007 meeting.
Defrags hard drives automatically while you work.
- Why do we need to defrag?
- The above is part of a hard drive. Files A to E are written on the hard drive.
- Then file B is deleted leaving free space.
- File F is written in this free space leaving some room for more data.
- File G is put there instead by Windows.
-
Now when file F needs more data added it must be stored away from file F.
File F is now fragmented. When the computer needs to use file F, it must search
for all the fragmented parts. This takes time. A defragmenting program attaches these fragmented files and your computer runs faster.
