übersetze defragment von Englische ins Deutsch

– To rewrite parts of a file to contiguous sectors on a hard disk to increase the speed of access and retrieval. When files are updated, the computer tends to save these updates on the largest continuous space on the hard disk, which is often on a different sector than the other parts of the file. When files are thus "fragmented," the computer must search the hard disk each time the file is accessed to find all of the file's parts, which slows down response time. Windows 95 and Windows NT include defragmentation utilities (or defraggers) as part of the operating system. ¹
