I've always wondered if defragmenting a traditional mechanical hard drive actually had any real world performance benefit or not. My father religiously defragged his computers for years once a week and insisted he could tell the difference. I never could, even on our old 240mb-equipped 486DX2. Still defragged the fucker once a week though.

I’m sure some of those more advanced defrag things did things like order the files windows boots with which are apparently loaded alphabetically so they were stored in that sequence on the disk. it’s feasible to see how that could make a difference I assume modern disk controllers shield the actual inner workings of the disk from the operating system now, so flash drives wear out uniformly etc
