[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1764795, member: 131855"] Glad that link helps. I think that is the likely reason some utilities report fragmentation despite Apple's best efforts. I stopped running defragmentation routines some time ago. For me, the level of fragmentation was usually so low that the small amount of performance improvement that might be gained wasn't worth the lost time. The only time I have run any defragmentation in the last few years is during one attempt to build a Bootcamp partition. The drive had enough total available space to create the partition but the space wasn't contiguous. [/QUOTE]
