Mobile phones need defragging too

If your new and expensive mobile phone is behaving slowly the hard drive on it probably needs to be defragged. That is what Storage Tools supplier Softwinter believes. The microdrives on phones are just like normal desktop harddrives. Every once in a while the files in the hard drive need to be realigned so they are grouped together which will enable them to be read more quickly. The problem is that many mobile phones do not have this ability yet. However, as mobile phones become more complex and expensive, the ability to defrag the hard drive will become second nature. Right now the price of a phone is such that if it starts running slowly after years of use it will probably be replaced. As the price and complexity of mobile phones increases, consumers will insist on the ability to defrag their phones because the cost to replace them regularly will simply be too great.
