Experience defragmentation as a visual process
The Defragmentation Simulator turns the normally invisible reordering process of a classic hard drive into an animated surface. Fragmented regions move and combine, making different strategies and their effects immediately understandable.
What you can observe
- Follow scattered data blocks as they are rearranged step by step.
- Change the defragmentation method used by the simulation.
- Adjust options that control both the process and its visual presentation.
- Compare different runs through an easy-to-follow animation.
How to start a simulation
- Choose the starting situation and visual setup.
- Select a method and begin the defragmentation run.
- Watch the movement, then try another configuration for comparison.
A simulation with no access to your drives
The app does not defragment a real disk and never accesses your storage devices. It is a playful visualization that makes a familiar technical process safe and easy to explore.
