What does Defragmenter defragment RAM or Hard disk?
The hard drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It puts fragmented files on the drive back together in an orderly way so that the HDD can read them faster. In other words your files and programs open smoothly without lags and the startup is faster than on a fragmented drive.
Depending on how fragmented the drive and how large the drive defragmenting it can take less than an hour or as long as all night?

How does a Hard Drive become fragmented?
A hard drive becomes fragmented when a file that occupies a finite storage location on the hard drive is modified and becomes larger. If the finite storage space on the drive is not large enough to store the larger modified file, part of the file must be stored in another location that is not contiguous to the original storage location. Thus the file becomes fragmented. Now your computer must search for the file in two different locations in order to retrieve it. This is what causes your computer to slooow down.
