If a user complains that opening files and saving documents is taking much longer than usual on their workstation, which of the following would be the MOST likely cause?
Corrupted network card drivers
Incorrect RAID configuration
Disk Fragmentation or drive failure
Outdated motherboard BIOS
Extended read/write times can often be attributed to disk fragmentation or potential drive failure. Disk fragmentation occurs when a file system cannot lay out the data sequentially, which leads to increased seek times as the drive's read-write head moves to different areas of the disk to access the fragmented files. This process significantly slows down file access times. Alternatively, a hard drive nearing the end of its life could exhibit prolonged read/write times due to wear and mechanical issues obstructing data access speed.
