Defrag the HFS+ HDD?

[DarkSorrow]

I always wonder about this question, i know many like Window and Linux need to defrag. But do OSX need it?

i already check the search forums and nothing came up.

Short answer: No, not usually.

For the long answer, see these previous threads on the topic (the search feature here seems to be on the fritz, which is probably why you did not find them):
