Hi Everyone
I have been pondering the above question for some weeks now, after my
HD became almost full (10gb free), and I decided to backup everything
to an external 1TB drive, and then remove about 30gb on the Mac to
have some space available.
I remember a fair while ago some muggers saying that it is not
necessary to defrag as the OS somehow maintains the drive. Others have
said that there are programs that do defrag the drive and it does make
a difference.
On some of my previous macs of the PowerPC models (G5 and laptops), I
used to run Techtools Pro to periodically clean up the drive, and it
seemed to work ok.
I am not so sure with the Intel machines I use. Do I need to do
anything? Are there any little apps that can show what the drive looks
like?
Any feedback on this is most welcome.
I am using a Macbook Pro 2.2ghz Intel Dual Core with 3gb Ram and a
250gb HD. OSX 10.5.8
Kindest regards to all
Chris
