[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1507422, member: 51052"] So, from my rough understanding of fusion (I really haven't dug too much into it)... The technology basically rotates hot extents onto the ssd portion of the volume, and cold extents onto the rotational portion. Which means that Bob and I have the same understanding of the fundamental architecture of the drive. All of which means that... In this type of scenario, you would see very little (if any) benefit from defragmenting the drive. You'd also see more unnecessary write operations on the ssd. In general, I really don't bother with defragmentation on a HFS+ volume anyway. Unless you're heavily utilizing the drive there really isn't any real gain. [/QUOTE]
