Windows utility which defragments a hard drive

Microsoft Drive Optimizer (formerly Disk Defragmenter) is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase data access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation. Defragmenting a disk minimizes head travel, which reduces the time it takes to read files from and write files to the disk.

From Wikipedia

Microsoft Drive Optimizer (formerly Disk Defragmenter) is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase data access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation. Defragmenting a disk minimizes head travel, which reduces the time it takes to read files from and write files to the disk. As a result of the decreased read and write times, Microsoft Disk Defragmenter decreases system startup times for systems starting from magnetic storage devices such as a hard disk drive (HDD). Defragmentation however is unnecessary and harmful to storage devices that use flash memory like SD cards or solid-state drives (SSDs), as these do not use a head. Doing so may decrease lifespan for these types of devices. In Windows 8 and later it was renamed Defragment and Optimize Drives; SSDs were optimised in a useful and appropriate way by performing TRIM operation instead.
