Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A good defragmentation utility can speed up access time by moving all parts of a file to contiguous blocks and sectors.

Note: this is only true for spinning hard drives; solid-state hard drives do not benefit particularly from defragmentation - especially since wear leveling and trimming move the files around anyway and allocate the SSD memory accordingly.
