Deframenting Hard Drive Myths part 1
April 6th, 2008
Stressing the needle because of defragmenting has some truth in it, though gone astray. Defragmenting the hard disk might require a lot of searching and looking as the hard drive reorganizes its data in a contiguous style. Defragmenting lets the read-and-write heads to scan huge amounts of data without searching over the platters.
On the other hand, right after defragmentation, the hard disk is no longer required to search for all the platters for your data. In this way it lowers the amount of head actuator actions as well as intensely increases the performance of the hard drive. For that reason and technically, defragmenting the hard drive will reduce the workload of the head actuator.
