Used when it's essential that the input request is dealt with quick enough to control output properly
Used in critical systems, where no delay is tolerated
ADV: Can cope with a large number of processes in a short space of time
DISADV: Can be a few seconds delay

Traditional hard drives often split larger files into data blocks (not always adjacent) to best fit them into the space available, this is fragmentation
This allows more to be fitted onto the disk but can slow down access to the files as all the separate parts need to be found opening
-
Defragmenting reorders the files to keep them together, which makes it easier and quicker for the computer to read them
