Fragmentation of data on computer hard disk causes it to work faster than before?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Fragmentation of data on a computer hard disk actually slows down its performance, rather than making it work faster. When data is fragmented, it is scattered across different physical locations on the disk, causing the read/write heads to move more frequently and take longer to retrieve the data. This results in slower access times and decreased overall efficiency. To optimize performance, it is recommended to regularly defragment the hard disk, which rearranges fragmented data and improves its accessibility.Rate this question:
