What i have come to believe is that fragmentation is where there are clumps of species, rather than an even distribution.

fragmentation
Changing the structure of a file may or may not affect the fragmentation of the disk. But, in most cases, the computer is going to store the file in the same location after the change.
n computing, file system fragmentation, sometimes called file system aging, is the inability of a file system to lay out related data sequentially (contiguously), an inherent phenomenon in storage-backed file systems that allow in-place modification of their contents. It is a special case of data fragmentation. File system fragmentation increases disk head movement or seeks, which are known to hinder throughput. The correction to existing fragmentation is to reorganize files and free space back into contiguous areas, a process called defragmentation.
If a paging file resides on a partition that contains other data, it may experience fragmentation as it expands to satisfy the extra virtual memory that is required.

Volume fragmentation is where the partition volume is physically split across the drive into variable pieces. This is common on HFS and some other filesystems that do not need to be sequential or single-piece, and virtual filesystems. Data fragmentation is when a file or data portion is physically split across a volume, rather than being in a single sequential piece. This is also called 'fragmentation' and can usually be remedied with a 'defragmenter'. It is usually an undesireable state, as it requires longer to load a fragmented file.
Its not a good question because it is not spesific. The answer to your question is: a fractional effect. You have to have a spesific cause to find its spesific effect.
Fragmentation is when a single file's data becomes distributed across a hard drive, taking longer to read it. Fragmentation generally only occurs in Microsoft's technique(s) of storing data, since Apple and Linux both use different methods.
