The disk defragmenter rearranges fragmented files back into orderly fashion to speed up data access for the HDD. This translates into faster opening of programs, startup and general performance. If the computer is powerful but the HDD is heavily fragmented and slow, the system is incapable of performing at its best. Defragging helps draw out the maximum performance by keeping HDD smooth and fast.
