Defragmentation (English Wikipedia)

"MyDefrag v4.2.8". Archived from the original on 2010-02-16. Retrieved 2014-08-14. On most harddisks the beginning of the harddisk is considerably faster than the end, sometimes by as much as 200 percent! You can measure this yourself with utilities such as * HD Tune. MyDefrag is therefore geared towards moving all files to the beginning of the disk.
