Techniques for optimizing disk access are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for optimizing disk access comprising a module for reading files in a filesystem, the files comprising one or more file fragments, a module for determining a relative location of the one or more file fragments on a disk, a module for sorting an index of the one or more file fragments on the disk in one or more fragment tables according to the relative location of the one or more file fragments on the disk, a module for reading the one or more file fragments from the disk, a module for assembling one or more of the files from the one or more file fragments.
