Most of today’s performance talk revolves around CPU and graphics card performance and little is discussed about how optimizing disk I/O (Input/Output) can offer performance gains. In the world of performance, disk I/O is like the red headed step child. Defragging your hard drive can improve I/O performance by reorganizing the data on the platters in a more logical way.
