Re: Defragging my TP

The reason it is so important to defrag your computer is fragmented files require the read head to have to jump all over the HD platter to retrieve the vairious pieces of data slowing down the read time of the hard drive. Defrag lines everything up so this is prevented.

Since NAND Flash/RAM isnt using a spinning magnetic disk with a read head I cant imagine defragging is going to make a real big diffrence. Maybe I am wrong and I am sure someone will tell me if I am.
