I tend to think of a badly fragmented and cluttered drive as a messy closet or desk where it takes double the time to find anything. In terms of its silent and prolific growth its like a disease which starts off harmlessly to aggaravte into serious problems like freezes, slowdowns and potential disk crashes.
