![]() ![]() Mac has inbuilt processes that perform manual disk defragmentation, due to which it doesn’t need external defragging. Why Mac formatted drives doesn’t need to be defragged? In order to resolve this fragmented data from the hard drive you need to do defragmentation so that you can reduce the unnecessary drive activity (read/writes) and increase the OS X performance. Basically fragmentation is the inability of the file system that doesn’t keep the relevant data together, that leads to increased hard drive activity and make the overall system performance slow. To know defragmentation, first you must understand the fragmentation process. Let’s discuss what actually the defragmentation is: ![]() Therefore, in order to resolve such problem it is necessary to defrag external hard drive. After a certain period of time, due to fragmentation, accessing files or transferring data from these external disks becomes a time consuming task as the OS X looks at various locations to open a single file. Usually, all the files used to save on segments in a contiguous manner on a Mac formatted disk, but with time further changes on these files also involve other segments as well to save modifications and make them fragmented.
