    Making files contiguous so that they can be read without unnecessary seeking. In Windows 2000 and later operating systems, Microsoft Drive Optimizer has the following limitations: It does not defragment files residing in the Recycle Bin or files that are in use. [7] In particular, this includes the registry, page file and hibernation file.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation

    Defragmentation is advantageous and relevant to file systems on electromechanical disk drives (hard disk drives, floppy disk drives and optical disk media). The movement of the hard drive's read/write heads over different areas of the disk when accessing fragmented files is slower, compared to accessing the entire contents of a non-fragmented ...

    If a programmer picks a fixed block size too small, the system immediately fails to store some filesfiles larger than the block size—even when there are many free blocks that add up to more than enough to store the file.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_fragmentation

    File system fragmentation is more problematic with consumer-grade hard disk drives because of the increasing disparity between sequential access speed and rotational latency (and to a lesser extent seek time) on which file systems are usually placed. [8] Thus, fragmentation is an important problem in file system research and design.
