I often see Mac guys getting irritated
with their slow Mac performance. Although Mac becomes sluggish after
a long usage but the problem can also occur in new machines. However,
there are many reasons that may cause your Mac run slow but the most
prominent is Fragmentation.
So, in order to overcome this issue,
you need to know all about fragmentation process and also the way of
defragging your Mac drive. Regardless of operating system you have,
slow computer/machine is an issue with everyone.
How fragmentation occurs and what
are its ill effects:
The files you store in Mac drives, are
fragmented (files scattered into many pieces or parts) and stored at
different locations in memory devices. Due to this, the OS takes more
time for searching and fetching the related fragments of files which
you attempt to open.
I found people asking questions about defragmenting
Mac drive and whether it helps to speed up Mac
performance or not. This question is very common among Mac users and
has been answered by many experts at many famous forums.
In Mac, there is an advanced feature to avoid the chances of
fragmentation of files upto certain level. This automatic
defragmentation is applicable over a specific size limit of 20MB
only. It raises the question among Mac users about the need of
defragmentation in Mac.
What actually the built-in defragmentation safeguards do?
Now, there is need to know what this built-in system does for
reducing fragmentation of files. The HFS+ file system of Mac OS X
keeps large number of small files together and leaves large free
space on drive which might be allocated to larger files later. Hence,
reducing the need for defragmentation of files in Mac.
At the time of writing files in drive, the OS doesn't use space freed most recently but, rather it seeks for a large space to
write the entire file in one place. While Mac OS X have great built-in safeguards to keep your
drive optimized , it doesn't go as far as any third party utility
would.
Note: It is required to note that all these automatic
features of Mac OS X and file system work only when you have more
than 10% free space available on your drive.
Defragmenting Mac OS X using specialized tool:
Specialised tools will definitely perform better job by grouping
frequently used files together on the fastest part of drive.
Defragmenting files of Mac drive irrespective of size resulting in
highly optimized drive.
As per my experience Stellar
Drive Defrag software is an optimal solution for defragmenting Mac
volumes. I have find numerous feedback and heard positive experience
of users in several reviews and comments. So one could try its
free download version to check the fragmented files in his drive.
