To maintain an optimized computer, the periodic defragmentation is a must, especially if you are working with a lot of files and make multiple operations with your PC.

When you save, delete, copy different files or use programs, additional files may be saved in different location on physical hard drive (are fragmented). When Windows sees these files as a group, it takes more time to gather information from these different locations of physical drive.

Basically, the deframentation (defrag) means that will arrange again the files on a computer’s hard disk.
