Most people probably don't do it, but is it even necessary?
It'll be interesting to see the results of this poll. It'd be more intresting to see a survey of whether OSX, under normal circumstances, really does benefit from defragmentation at all.
Defragging matters!
I have never defragged my slot-loading iMac (40GB), and I am suffering. I can't import more than about 15 seconds in iMovie 2 (let alone 3) without dropping frames. When the computer was new, I imported (and exported) 2 x 1 hour tapes in one go each, with no dropped frames. (that was the only time my hard drive got within 5GB of full)
Defragging matters!
I agree. Especially for older Macs. When the drive on my G4/466 gets badly fragmented the whole computer runs very poorly.
Most people probably don't do it, but is it even necessary?
I don't do it nearly as often as 10.2 or earlier (including 9, 8 and 7), but from time to time, I do end up with large files (over 20 MB) that end up quite fragmented |
