[QUOTE="Haalcyon, post: 1229905, member: 200369"] I defragment my mechanical disks regularly as I'd noted. It is, however, interesting to note that OS X is [I]better[/I] at handling fragmentation than I'd thought. I use Drive Genius to handle this and it does well, but to be honest, I'm using dual Raptors in RAID 0, and it will be a long time before I fill up the 1.2TB of space that provides. ...in such a situation it seems (according to the article) that I'm less apt to notice the affects of fragmentation...but habit is habit and I'll continue to defragment them regularly. I still recommend defragmenting even if its not as important as I'd initially thought. [/QUOTE]
