It will run faster if you do, when the files aren't fragmented the disk will have less work to do when it loads them, so it will load them faster.
Is this a trick question?

nope, it's just that people have been saying that you should for years, but I've NEVER honestly noticed any difference after I do. And it's annoying because disk defrag takes too long.Originally Posted by clocker

Jeez, I would think with your setup that a defrag would only take a few minutes.

It must be. Just check what he's asking:Originally Posted by clockerIs it necessary to defarg your system...
I wondered whether anyone else saw that or if maybe my monitor(s) were overclocked too far.

defrag. it really helps
i've been downloading a lot of dvdr images recently, and i have to extract them. i just defraged a few days ago, and before that, extracting a 4.5 gig image takes a lot longer than after i defrag.
