Used OS X's disk utility to repair the hard drive because errors were found on it.Used OS X's disk utility app to repair permissions on my hard drive.

Which made me want to defrag my Mac, so I did.įirst, I bought the iDefrag app. So I looked online to see what people thought, and most people thought it was unnecessary to defrag a Mac. Yesterday I felt compelled to give it a checkup. My current Mac is an early 2008 MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 4 GB of RAM, with an upgraded 7200 RPM 500 GB hard drive that I installed several years ago.

I was always told that Macs maintain themselves well enough to not require the user to defragment a Mac hard drive. I have only ever owned Macs, and I have never tried defragmenting a Mac hard drive before.
