Instead of being saved in one continuous block, a single file may be broken into multiple pieces scattered across the disk. This typically happens as files are created, modified, or deleted over time, leaving gaps in the storage area. When the system needs to read or write data from a fragmented file, it must locate and assemble each piece, leading to slower performance and increased wear on storage devices.<\/p><p class=\"otl-paragraph\">Fragmentation affects traditional <a class=\"hyperlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amagicsoft.com\/wiki\/hdd-hard-disk-drive.html\" target=\"_Blank\"><strong>HDDs (Hard Disk Drives)<\/strong><\/a> more than <a class=\"hyperlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amagicsoft.com\/wiki\/ssd-drive.html\" target=\"_Blank\"><strong>SSDs (Solid State Drives)<\/strong><\/a> because HDDs rely on mechanical arm movement to access data.
