Summary:

Disk Defragmentation tools come in handy to Windows users when you need to optimize data access performance by organizing files on the hard drive. The tool gathers all the scattered pieces of files on the hard disk that helps the system to improve the performance of loading files significantly. But when it comes to Mac […]

1. Sufficient free space automatically available: When you write new data on the Mac drive, the hierarchical file system automatically finds the larger free space to store that file instead of utilizing recently freed space on the drive. Thus defrag is not needed during this process.

2. Auto defragment feature: Mac OS is one step ahead in defragmenting the files. It comes with a native feature that automatically gathers small file pieces and collects them into an ample space to store on the drive, which is why the defragmentation tool is avoided.

3. Hot file adaptive clustering (HCF): Mac OS already retains its own defragment feature; the Hot file adaptive clustering in Mac completes the task by monitoring frequently accessed files and moving them to the hot zone on the booting drive.

4. Opening file will be divided into eight or more fragments: Mac OS will divide it into more than eight fragments that need no extra tool to do the job when you target a file and open it.

5. Mac with SSD doesn’t need to defrag tool: Nowadays, Mac comes with SSD drives or solid-state drives that need no defragmentation tool and also, running such a tool on an SSD can do more harm than good by corrupting or damaging the SSD.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s summed up that there is no necessity of running a defragmentation tool on a Mac OS as it has its features to defragment the files and optimize the system performance. Avoid the tool on an SSD Mac, which could worsen the scenario by leading to data loss catastrophes.
