This means that the file can be read in one go, which is faster. HDDs are mechanical drives, with a relatively long seek time of approximately 15 milliseconds (ms), so every time a file is fragmented you lose 15ms finding the next one. This really adds up when reading lots of ...

When you defragment a drive, the computer reshuffles all its data, using the free space on the drive as sorting space. It’s a massive, time-consuming process. However, on heavily fragmented drives it could make a noticeable difference to system responsiveness. At least on older hardware. Y...
