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.
