[QUOTE="andr3wkim, post: 948890, member: 126731"] Fragmentation does happen on Macs, but Mac OS X does a pretty good job of handling file fragmentation in general. Mac OS X does regular maintenance checks and operations in the background which I believe are weekly and monthly to ensure optimal performance. If you are anal about these things (I kind of am) you can download the free [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html"]OnyX[/URL] to perform cleanup operations manually. There are also defragment applications but I don't know of any that are updated regularly and free. [/QUOTE]
