A Disk Defragmenter is a software tool used to rearrange data on magnetic drives in order to improve system performance.

This means that the heads can access data sequentially without seeking data fragments in different areas of a disk. True False

True

An M.2 key is a notch on the pin contact surface of an M.2 expansion card which prevents insertion into an incompatible socket. The M.2 key IDs include 12 available letters from A to M.
