Defrag drive to boost up Mac performance

Organizing fragmented files together in contiguous manner on hard disk is called defragmentation. As we know files are automatically get fragmented in due course of time after too many modifications. It results in increase in fetching time of processor. So, when user calls a program, OS have to search for its related files. It may delay the process if these files are scattered in memory blocks. So, defragmentation is suggested for faster read/write operations which reduces processing time.

Why Defragmentation is necessary?
Generally, if you ask any Mac user then he will tell you that there is no need to defragment your Mac drive. But only in case of those users who don't work on large files. Because HFS+ of Mac OS X is capable enough to avoid fragmentation in your Mac, up to some small extent (small files of 20MB size) only. But, as we know, our drive have large files such as videos, photos etc. So, defragmentation is necessary to perform for those having bulky files.

Although this topic is controversial but from my own experience I would vote in favour of  defragmentation for improving Mac performance. Yes, it is not clear that how many times one should perform defragmentation, but it depends upon the efficiency of utility and amount of files your Mac possess.

Note: For enabling this utility to work on your drive, it require to have more 10% of free space in your Mac drive.
