Oh, so it's that large volumes don't fragment files? Large files don't still get broken into "fragments" and stored at different physical locations on your HD's? Wow, your HD's must be huge! And your OS so incredibly smart that it never breaks a file into segments, regardless of where space is available... Amazing! So, in the past 30 years all you have done is purchased new HD's instead of defragging if necessary? I don't think my employer would go for that on our 350gb RAID-5 server. They'd much prefer I defrag it. You continue to speak in black and white terms. Defragging is short-lived? That only depends on how you read/write/delete data to it. That depends solely based on its usage - and the performance you are willing to subjugate yourself to. This is silly. None of this has any direct relation to the topic - so I really hope that was your last answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
