Do I need to be concern about Defragmentation in Mac Drive:

Defragmentation is allocation of related data in contiguous memory location in order to avoid fragments of data. We know that, in Mac OS X HFS+ file system is advanced enough to handle fragmentation but upto 20MB only. So, as such , there is no inbuilt tool available for defragmentation of data in Mac.

Many Mac users think that its not necessary to defrag Mac. It doesen't need any third party tool to defragment. Newcomers to the Mac OS might also wonder whether they need to, and how they can, defragment their machine’s hard-drives.

Technically, if you edit large files regularly, like audio and video, there increases chances of fragmentation of files. In such cases, you must defrag your Mac regularly.

My friend is facing problem of slow Mac.Everytime he runs applications it take about 5-10 minutes to start which used to take hardly a minute. So programs are running very slow and sometimes hanging with no responses at all which make situation more terrific.

HFS+ file system doesn't use recently freed space on a disk. Instead, it looks for larger free areas that already present on the drive, thereby avoiding fragmentation of data by fitting them into available space.

OS X's HFS+ dynamically gathers cluster of small files and combines them into larger areas automatically.

How Data is fragmented in Drive:

According to system properties in memory block, files are placed in an unorganized manner, anywhere in various sectors of Memory Block. So, due to this when we run any process or apps , (supportive files) files required to open that particular apps, So those related files when placed away from each other(scattered) then this is obvious processor take more time in searching and then running process as processor have to search by going sector by sector.

Importance of Defragmentation:

1.Easy to install application

2.Fast access

3.Minimize chances of failure

4.Increase efficiency of Mac

In order to defragment Mac drive, most of the Mac users look towards third party defragmenting tool like Stellar Drive Defrag. One can choose to defrag a specific volume , a single large files or an entire disk, to defragmentation.
