Describe the concept of file system fragmentation and its impact on performance.

  • Better data security through encryption
  • Improved file access speed
  • Increased read/write times due to scattered data blocks
  • Reduced storage space usage due to optimized data allocation
File system fragmentation occurs when files are broken into pieces scattered across the disk, leading to increased read/write times as the system needs to access multiple fragments. This impacts performance as it introduces delays in retrieving and storing data.
