Ever wonder what’s keeping your computer so slow? At the end of your rope? Don’t give up, yet! If you’ve been around computers long enough, you may have heard someone ask, “Have you DEFRAGGED your hard drive?” Maybe you know what this is, or maybe you don’t… but, there are a lot of misconceptions out there. This post explains what disk fragmentation really is (in a way you can understand), and discusses WHY you need to defragment your hard drive. We also talk about what tools to use in order to get the best possible increase in performance… Hint: It ain’t the built in Windows tool.
