As you will be aware if your hard disk is running slowly then this will affect the rest of the system performance, in all applications and especially in games, where frame rate is important.

The PC will arrange the data so that data that belongs together and needs to be read together is actually put in the same place on the drive. The obvious question here is why doesn’t the PC store the data in the correct way in the first place? In an ideal situation (such as a blank disk) the PC would do these as a first option.
