The concept of defragmenting involves reorganising the files on your drive so they take up contiguous spaces on the disk. This should lead to faster access, since the operating system won't have to search all over the disk for pieces of files that should be stored sequentially, and makes it less likely that you won't be able to access programmes or data due to disparate sectors on the disk going bad or whatever.

Apparently this doesn't apply to the new solid state drives, which have a completely differentt storage method.
