Organizing
fragmented files together in contiguous manner on hard disk is called
defragmentation. As we know files are automatically get fragmented in
due course of time after too many modifications. It results in
increase in fetching time of processor. So, when user calls a
program, OS have to search for its related files. It may delay the
process if these files are scattered in memory blocks. So,
defragmentation is suggested for faster read/write operations which
reduces processing time.
Why
Defragmentation is necessary?
Generally,
if you ask any Mac user then he will tell you that there is no need
to defragment
your Mac drive. But only in case of those users who don't work on
large files. Because HFS+ of Mac OS X is capable enough to avoid
fragmentation in your Mac, up to some small extent (small files of
20MB size) only. But, as we know, our drive have large files such as
videos, photos etc. So, defragmentation is necessary to perform for
those having bulky files.
Although
this topic is controversial but from my own experience I would vote in favour of
defragmentation for improving Mac performance. Yes, it is not clear
that how many times one should perform defragmentation, but it
depends upon the efficiency of utility and amount of files your Mac
possess.
Note:
For enabling this utility to work on your drive, it require to have
more 10% of free space in your Mac drive.

technique known as Hot File Clustering. In which Mac OS X,
frequently access files in a Hot zone in-order to perform
defragmenting . I know much professional and competent software which
do its job without interfering in Mac OS X process.
