This video will briefly explain to you what fragmentation on a computer is. It will go through how it happens, and the implications it causes.

The blue bars represent (contiguous) data blocks.
The red bars represent fragmented (problematic) data blocks.
The yellow bars respresent defragmented data blocks.

RAM:
RAM is temporary memory that your computer uses to store information. It is volatile (data is lost when power goes).

Fragment
A single fragment can be thought of as a 'portion', or a slice from another or bigger part.

Wow dude, perfect. Now I knw wut DEfragmenting means. this helped alot.

But are there differences with defragging programs? How could one do better than the other?

[KurtisICT]

hi, thanks for your comment!!

There will be differences in how different software defragements data (such as storing as much data to the left as possible, whilst others sticking contiguous files together, others both, for example), but nothing 'major'.

Hope this helps!!
