An SSD is a storage device with no moving parts. This results in dramatically faster read/write times and lower power consumption. They are also much more reliable due to the fact that they do not have any moving parts that can become damaged easily.

Disk fragmentation will remove the gap between the clutches and the space and it will clean your disk, I will do it on and on. Whenever I do this disk fragmentation i experience a little more speed of my computer.

I usually don't do defragmentation. I usually do a full format of my drive. I find it more faster.

a full format or a low level format is a useful way to scan your your HDD drive I've did it recently and it gave me good results

Yes, if you install and remove to much, your files take longer to be found because they are not together and had to fill the empty spaces from the files you removed. I recommend you to do a disk defragmentation once a year

I see you know a lot about it Can you explain a little more? How it's done, will it erase my files?

It will not erase your files. It will help organize them. It's a simple (although sometimes, time-consuming) process.

I really liked your way of putting it! Helped me understand a bit better! cheers!

So, from what I read, defrag is the process of "gathering" the info that belongs to a certain group of info so the PC can access that info more quickly. Yes I know that this is not the correct computer language but I think its very clear and everyone should understand

This is the text I read (from microsoft's site):

"Disk defragmentation is the process of consolidating fragmented data on a volume (such as a hard disk or a storage device) so it will work more efficiently.

Fragmentation happens to a volume over time as you save, change, or delete files. The changes that you save to a file are often stored in a different place on the volume than the original file. This doesn't change where the file appears in Windows—only where the bits of information that make up the file are stored on the actual volume. Over time, both the file and the volume itself become fragmented, and your computer slows down as it has to look in different places to open a single file." source: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... =windows-7

Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your volume and reunites fragmented data so your computer can run more efficiently.

With this definition you can find out what disk defragmention is.

Format? Scan? i think you don't understand what a reformat is?

[cards2015]

Yes it is really important in computers. it was like a brush on your disk cleaning dump memories on your disk and bring back to normal system your computer. and yeah its really really important hehe

Disk defragmentation

Something I should definitely do more often than I do.

[Alexandoy]

Since hard disks are now very large, defragmenting is not required anymore unless your hard disk is almost full. The unused fragments between the files are moved to the last address so your file will be contiguous and no gap. That is defragging.

I haven't seen this message for a long time, which is good, seeing any message like that, is never a good thing.
I think I recall seeing something asking would you like to repair this problem?
