Hi Ashley, You are correct; however, if you work with large files or move a lot of data around, your drive can become fragmented and may require some help.I do not know about all the different utilities available, but I found Drive Genius at http://www.prosofteng.com that does a number of things as well as defrag the drive. Of course the most valuable features of this program is not defragging.
