The importance to defragment your Mac hard drives
Mac users always ask, "How can I speed up my Mac?" If you want to speed up your mac, you can do it with the most-awarded mac utility software, Drive Genius 3- Your Mac hard drive has tens of thousands of important computer files on it. Your hard drive, also referred to as your Mac HD, is where all your digital pictures, emails, work files, videos and other files are stored. With so many important files being stored in one location, it's important that you take steps to make sure your Mac is not only running smoothly and optimized for peak performance, but also that the files themselves are managed better so that if there ever is a need for emergency file recovery, you will stand a better chance at recovering your files.
Defragging your hard drive, also referred to as optimizing your hard drive or Mac, is an important task to run on a regular basis. Defragging your hard drive with Drive Genius will improve the performance of your Mac as well as improve the recovery chances should your Mac become corrupted.
Better performance for your Mac hard drive is accomplished by defragmenting each file that the Mac Operating System skips. The Mac OS only defrags files if they are under 20mb in size. You have thousands of files larger than that threshold, including most of your important files like pictures and videos. Drive Genius' award-winning, used-by-apple defrag tool makes the file one contiguous file again. This is great for performance as your Mac doesn't have to piece fragments of files together upon opening it. Also, this is great for recovery, should your Mac crash. Recovery of a single, contiguous file is much more successful and likely compared to recovery of a highly fragmented file. In other words, if your drive contains a lot of fragmented files then the recovery success is usually lower, compared to a drive contains mostly unfragmented files.
So when someone asks, "I need to speed up my Mac. What should you do?" one answer would be to clean up the Mac hard drive with a defragmentation routine. Drive Genius 3's defrag tool is the number one selling, most-used Mac defrag tool for Mac OS X. Apple has been using it at the Genius Bar for over 5 years now.
Drive Genius 3 will reorganize the larger files and defrag them (consolidating the file into one contiguous file), improving seek and opening times. This reduces wear on the Mac hard drive because the read/write heads do not need to travel as much across the media when searching for a file. Drive Genius 3 also compacts the larger files to allow them to be saved without fragmentation.
