Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disk Defragmenter is a tool used to defragment the chunks of spread-out data and arrange it sequentially for faster data access.
Key Takeaway: Data is not arranged sequentially on a hard drive. When you try to open a file on the PC, the PC has to look for fragments of data from various parts or sectors of the hard drive. If the hard drive is full of data, the data retrieval process can take longer. As a result, the program takes time to open and the overall performance of the PC is slow.
