Smart Defrag has been out for quite awhile now and many people do not even know it exists. For those of you who do not know what Defragmentation Software is – it reorganizes “fragmented” files that are on your hard drive. Fragmentation occurs when your hard drive stores a larger file into multiple locations of your hard drive. When you access that file your hard drive needs to take extra steps to pick up the data from multiple locations and cache it for use. Smart Defrag not only rearranges those files so that they are together, but it also places the most frequently used files closer to the central pin of the hard drive for faster access.
