Defragging Mac OSX drives (non-SSD)

[Gert van Santen]

Hi all,

I always thought defragging Mac OSX drives wasn't necessary, but 
my 512 gig MBP drive was filled to the brim, plus it had gotten 
rather slow in the 2 years I have used it.

So I found iDefrag and MacKeeper.

After using MacKeeper I got back 8 GB. Not bad :-)

Then I opened iDefrag. My HD looked like a terrible mess. Last 
night I run the defragmentation. Now the HD looks neat and tidy 
again, plus I got back another 2 GB of space. Also, the machine 
feels snappier, so I'm really happy about these two progs.

Has anyone else done defragmentation on non-SSD Mac drives? How 
dit it work for you?

Cheers,

Gert
