I thought the 'big' thing was iDefrag 2? I haven't kept up with it, so I don't know what the differences are,
More expensive?? :)

If your hard drive had 80% free, I doubt that you have much of a need
for iDefrag. If you use it's highest optimization level you should
see a small performance gain, as iDefrag puts things in an order on
your hard drive for best performance.
iDefrag's most valuable feature is, if you routinely use it to
defragment your hard drive,( let's say about every 6 months or so) it
will allow you to fill up your hard drive more (that is, with more
safety for your data) than if you had never used it, possibly making
it unnecessary to ever purchase a new external drive before the day
comes when you purchase an entirely new Mac.
Yes, I own a copy of iDefrag, and I often hear from folks who use it
because of my Web site.

Prior to doing an erase and install, my system drive was probably 80% full. The system has always been terribly slow since I got it, about a year ago. I had been doing migrations for a few computers now, probably 3. I think that in the process of migrating, erroneous data were transferred at some point, if not a little each time. Anyway, when I went from my Core 2 Duo to this Core i3, not much improved. Not dramatically so anyway. I have always had the drive at least 60% full or so.
I think that the clean install had everything to do with the system performance increase. I look at iDefrag now to keep the performance up.
Honestly, it's like a new computer, even though it's a year old now. Dramatic improvement.
I wonder what it would have been like had I installed 10.6 cleanly as well.
Oh well. I"m pretty much convinced that I should have iDefrag in my toolkit.
Thanks Randy.

Guess it wouldn't do a heck of a lot for a hybrid.
I had considered buying a hybrid until I studied up a little. I don't' believe that the cost would justify the speed increase. May as well go all the way to a SSD.

The big thing with iDefrag 2 is the ability to boot into a special
mode and defragment your hard drive. You no longer have to create a
special boot CD to run iDefrag. iDefrag 2 also now does its job
faster, and it has an improved interface. I don't remember how much
it used to cost, I think something like $80. but it is now only $31.
User reviews of iDefrag:
http://download.cnet.com/ iDefrag/3000- 18512_4-54784. html?tag= mncol;
1#userreview
(Note that the very few negative reviews seem to be from folks who
have never actually tried the program. They say that the program is
worthless, but they don't reference any personal experience with it.
The overwhelming number of actual users of iDefrag find it to be a
very useful utility.)

I remember a WWDC Keynote presentation, when they were either launching Lion, or talking about Mission Control. And the presenter, I think it was Bertrand Serlet (though I may be wrong), said that Defrag is something that users should never need to use. He said that regular Windows users consistently use disk utilities such as Defrag and Scandisk and stuff that help keep data organized and the disk reliable. But this is not what a user should be doing, and thus these utilities are built into the core of OS X. The operating system does these things on its own, including the indexing of spotlight for speedy searches.
Though, ever since I've been using the modern generation of Macs, Tiger Panther Leopard or whatever, I've never really encountered a situation where Defrag has become necessary - Apart from now, that on Lion I am wondering why there is a difference in free space on my disk if checked using different system utilities. In older days, the PowerBooks shipped with far smaller hard disks - 40GB, 60GB and sorts, and now I have 500Gigs under my palm, does that make a difference? On a desktop Mac I guess people also have 1TB or more.
I might not be accurate, since its obvious there are folks involved in this discussion that do more of IT, but can we investigate, if we really need a defrag software on the Mac, and more so on Lion?

Judging from the handful of people that I've heard from who have
hybrid drives, that seems to be the consensus.
SSD's are really coming down in price. I suspect that my next iMac
will have an SSD for performance, and a huge traditional external
hard drive for storage. I'll probably get an SSD in my next laptop too.
Gizmodo really liked the Kingston's SNV425-S2 64GB drive in their
last comparison test, which is good, because it was one of the more
reasonably priced SSD's:
http://gizmodo.com/5678532/ budget-sub+ 150-solid- state-drive- round+up
That model has been superseded by the Kingston SSDNow SV100S2/64GZ,
which is going for only $110:

(Disturbingly, though, there have been reports of these drives
completely failing.)

Yes, there is a ton of misinformation about this, even from Apple
themselves. See:

Very strange indeed, your space issue. I have been monitoring space using Disk Utility, Finder, and Grand Perspective. All three seem to agree to the decimal point as to free space on the internal drive. I noticed nothing off so far.
I know that since I've used OS X, there has not been a need to defray, at least in my case, at all. I do feel that it might be handy to have iDefrag around, the same way I always keep DiskWarrior up to date. I probably have more use for DiskWarrior than I would for iDefrag, but one never knows.
Apple has deviated from standard Unix just enough to make it uncomfortable, IMO. I'm sure the kernel workings are probably right on, but I saw a timing issue with the kernel and the USB bus sometime during 10.6, i believe. Could have been 10.5. That was enough to make me sit up and take notice.
There are those developers now that are using undocumented APIs, which are always fun. I made the mistake of purchasing one of these programs without knowing it. Caused me all kinds of low-level grief. I saw my first kernel panic while running this app. I believe it was totally the programs fault.
Anyway, if it does cost me 32 us$ for peace of mind, I'll spend it. I don't want to go through what I just went through, anytime soon.

Wow! 64gb for $110 or $115! They are coming down. Someone ought to shake OWC's tree and let them know. I think they're still fairly expensive for their SSDs.
They told me at one point that my 21.5" machine does not have the room for a SSD, even using the optical drive bay. Don't know if that's changed, but I can see their point. I had a tech on-site here a few days ago and took a look. Not much space there at all. It does look as if the SSDs are coming down in size as well.
I'm partial to desktops at this point, although with talk of a Retina display for the MacBook Pros, that might sway me. Thinking my next machine will be the 27" iMac. I kind of believe the speculation that the Mac Pros are pretty much on their way out, considering the power contained in an iMac these days.

I retract the statement re OWC. Just had a look see at their site and they start at $119 for 60gb.
The thing about the Kingston drive on Amazon is that it's $115 BEFORE a $40 post-purchase cash rebate. That's some savings!
They also carry Crucial SSDs as well, although no rebate there.

Unlike you Randy, I don't claim to be an expert.
You're so hung up on the malware reference that you fail to see the big picture.
If I have a client who has a machine such as Harry's with memory that has been corrupting data, I can have it back up and running in 2 hours with a guarantee that no corrupted data is still on the disk.
Can your way do that? Guarantee that there is NO corrupted data left on the disk?
No, it can't. You can never GUARANTEE that no data corruption remains.
Because I've done it your way previously as well.
You can say it's bad advice if you like, but until you can GUARANTEE that NO data corruption remains on the disk, your way is still only a maybe.
And I notice you didn't comment on the fact that I was right with Harry?
Please be any expert you like Randy. I'd rather be wrong (according to you) and still have very happy clients because I do my job properly, quickly & with a guarantee that no corruption still exists.

Good luck! Try reinstalling, by hand, 2 dozen or so registered applications, let alone try to take the easiest and quickest route to solve the problem, as I would assume would be the logical. When I worked in the 'business', I would have done the same thing. The time lost would be part of the drill. The idea is not to have this happen, but one would NOT automatically wipe and reinstall the OS, especially in OS X, or any major real operating system. This was the point of my last rant.
In the real world, one does not halt production to reinstall an operating system on an AS\400, or a Cray. Never happen. There have been many, many larger systems running Unix and they have handled situations like this in a non-destructive way.

Of course not, but that's why there are journaled filesystems and cyclic redundancy checks. Odds are it would take quite a bit for this to happen, and it did.

Which is not the standard in the Mac world, and never has been. I believe this is what Randy is trying to point out.

How? You were right, but your firsthand attack at a solution was not right in this instance. I have been in similar situations where an archive and install took care of the situation without a problem, more times than none.

I think the point is that there is less likely to be corruption under OS X as with Windows. The solutions are definitely not the same. When I worked in the Win world, nothing was thought of re-installing, from scratch, the operating system. With OS X, there are other non-destructive ways that work 99.9% of the time and are the proper way to handle things. No loss of data, not much down time, etc.
