Back in the old days, when hard drives were the majority of PCs, defragmentation was one of the most obvious and annoying free ways to increase performance.
As a consequence of the spread of flash-based data storage, not only hard drives died out almost completely in PCs, but also one of the most characteristic maintenance routines of the Windows era of the turn of the millennium, disk defragmentation.

Hello, this year’s SYSADMINDAY is here!
This year, we will also organize the domestic Sysadminday at an outdoor location. After busy months, this is a good opportunity to meet friends and colleagues.
However, thanks to an Italian front-end development engineer, everyone can now relive the excitement of hard drive maintenance by visiting defrag98.com, where you can simulate the operation of the Disk Defragmenter built into Windows 98.
The great advantage of the simulator is that you don’t need to have a hard disk at all, after starting it you can still hear the characteristic whirring of the movement of the read-write heads, and the disk operations don’t slow down indefinitely during operation, like in the good old days.
