[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1577208, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Guys[/B] - thanks for the great information and advice on defragmentation of HDs - now, our OP has not specified which type of drive is in question (unless I missed it?). So, just for clarification for those coming new to this thread, there are three drive options: 1) Mechanical HD; 2) Fusion Drive (SSD + mainly moving HD); and 3) SSD. From my understanding, the SSD drives should not be defragmented & the Fusion Drives probably not? Now as to a mechanical HD formatted w/ [I]Mac OS Extended (Journaled)[/I], how often should these be defragmented, and what might be the criteria for making that decision? Thanks for further comments - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
