Defrag may only have a benchmark measurable effect vs. real world. Still it's gotta shave cumulative seconds off access to many small files or large highly fragmented ones by simple fact that head seeking takes (negligible these days, admitted) time. I don't run one to the determent of my system performance when I'm actively using it but I do have it do some optimization a few times a week when the system is idle. Theoretically it it could have a detrimental effect on the life of the drive with no benefit to access times if files accessed most frequently fragment faster than you can defrag them. With SSD & Flash I hear it's bad in general even if it does help access times given the finite life of those media. Actually the PC being too busy when it's idle is the reason I disabled all of Vista search indexing despite finding the cached searches beneficial. Got real tiring quick wondering why my HDD's seemed so noisy when I was doing nothing with the system. Suppose like defrag there is a way to limit how often it runs but could not find it quick enough vs. disabling. MyDefrag still takes the cake IMHO for lightweight and configurable defrag.
