Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of fragmentation is to help an operating system use the available space on a storage device. In the absence of disk fragmentation, application and file storage need to continuously be updating and moving storage blocks, in order to maintain a continuous, non-fragmented file system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disk fragmentation occurs when files or pieces of files get scattered throughout your disks. Not only do hard disks get fragmented, but removable storage can also become fragmented. This can cause poor disk performance and overall system degradation.
