You can match the colours within the key in the ‘Drive map’ tab with the main graph to tell where the different files are in your system: not fragmented, fragmented, etc. The ‘File list’ tab will deliver a catalog that includes the number of fragments that are associated with each record. If you want to see the detailed file statistics, then you can tap the ‘View files…’ button. You can see the total number of fragments and fragmented files. The results will appear in the tabbed interface within the ‘Drive’ area. You can click on the ‘Analyse’ button in the lower left corner to start assessing your drive. The fragmentation percentage will appear in the upper part when the analysis is complete. The status of the operation will be updated as you progress through the process. You can see how much GB of the total drive capacity is free and being used. The amount of space available on the drive will be listed in the upper portion of the UI. You can see whether the drive is an HDD or SSD under ‘Media Type’. Your hard disc will be listed at the top of the screen.

You can easily navigate around the user interface. The software will prevent fragmentation from happening by merging open spaces together into one cohesive empty section at the end of the file list. The program lets you evaluate the state of your PC hard drive to determine which related records need to be united again.

The HDD has to use extra energy to retrieve the divided pieces of data for you. Part of the incoming item may be distributed into different places on the HDD or SSD. The new file may only partially fit the leftover storage space. Files become fragmented on drives when you add, delete, and edit archives because the system will add new records to the space that the deleted data left available.
