[QUOTE="lifeafter2am, post: 742008, member: 20101"] You talk a lot about fragmenting data, but you came from Linux right? You do know that HFS is a journaling filesystem, just like XFS, EXT2, EXT3, ReiserFS and so on. Journaling filesystems don't fragment quite as bad as non-journaled systems; hence why you don't see an abundance of defrag tools made for these systems: Here's a little "light" reading for you. [URL="http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:a7vEkpVK7DEJ:www.linux-mag.com/id/1180+journaling+file+systems+and+fragmentation&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us&client=safari"]Journaling File Systems and How They Work[/URL] I have a few more advanced links if you want them. This one was the least technical, as I don't know how technical you are. [/QUOTE]
