At times, when you work on your Mac, you may experience slow Mac performance issues. On the other hand, your machine may also work slower while performing other tasks such as opening, copying or moving a file. However, there are many reasons for this but fragmentation is the common one. In such cases, you need to Defragment Mac hard drive in order to increase its speed.
Mark is a freelancer content writer and uses Mac to write articles. One day he started his Mac and opened an application to start writing but the application took too long to load. He also tried to reboot, but it was not helpful. Then he searched on the Internet to find the cause of slow performance and found that usually this happens due to fragmentation of hard drive.
When you create, edit or save a file on your Mac, it looks for contiguous memory locations on the hard drive. Also, when you delete a file from the hard drive, free space becomes available which is non-contiguous. Thus, when you try to save a file, it becomes difficult for the operating system to find a contiguous memory location and file got save in fragments. This increases fragmentation in the hard drive and the processor takes more time to fetch data from a fragmented hard drive.
Mark is a non-technical person so he was not aware of the ways to defragment a hard drive. Then he called me up and described the problem. I was aware of the issue so told him to use the Disk Utility to defragment the hard drive but he was unable to locate Disk Utility to perform the operation.
I told him to search for disk defragmenting software for Mac. He started searching and downloaded a few of them. Although having a lot of advanced features, their interface was confusing except a few that were available with preview like Stellar Drive Defrag.
Drive Defrag helps you to remove fragmentation from your Mac hard drive and store data on contiguous memory locations. This tool performs complete defragmentation of hard drive and defrags all meta data files, is compatible with Mac OS X Lion.
