OT : Slow HD...



"supposedly, defragging a mac disk is unnecessary. not sure if that's true, but that's what i heard."


Well you have to keep in mind several things

1) OSX defrags only small files. In case of audio and video files, you can have files too big for OSX to act
2) OSX defrag doesn't include pulling of free space like soft used to do. Basically free space becomes a mess. And anytime you use it, it becomes harder, especially if you filled your drive.
That is partly why, among other reasons, it is often advised to not too fill your disk. With proper disk management, it wouldn't be necessary.

This is why I would advise anyway still to use an utilitary soft to perform this.

One may not agree with me though.
