Defragmenting the hard drive
When working with files, your operating system divides the file information
into pieces and stores them in different places on the hard drive. This is called
fragmentation, and it is normal. In order for your server to use a file, your
operating system must search for the pieces of the file and put them back
together. This process slows hard drive performance.
