Not sure, Rocky....but I *have* heard that there IS too much of a good thing....and that a defrag actually DOES put some stress on your hard drive and you CAN do it too often I defrag all my drives about once a month...and that's it....UNLESS I see a reason to do it sooner (performance decrease, etc.)...and I would say you could call me a power user.
