Is it necessary to defrag Mac Lion drive to speed up Lion performance? Every user facing a Slow Mac, asks this question. In comparison to other solutions, defragmentation is supposed to be the most easiest and reliable method of speeding up Windows. But, in Mac there is no such inbuilt application for defragmenting Mac.
How defragmenting Mac help to speed up Mac disk?
Although the HFS+ (Mac file System) of Mac Lion is smart enough to handle fragmeted files but there is a limit to file size upto 20 Mb. So, if one has media files which usually has size greater than 20 Mb , need to opt for some third party Mac defragmenting software.

1. Defrag Metadata
Metadata section of Mac OS holds information about file length, date of creation, date of modification etc. For all the files stored in Mac HD. The fragmentation in this section may cause delay in access of these files so, it becomes necessary to defrag metadata in order to access the files faster.
2. Quick Defrag
A quick performing operation to rearrange Mac files into contiguous memory and arrange the free space into single chunk on the disk.
3. Full Defrag
One can easily defrag the complete disk with this option. It is to gather all the files and free spaces in specific volume into separate memory locations. It helps the Mac OS to read files quickly.
5. Optimize
This option is meant to bring all the scattered free spaces in the Mac volume together into a single piece of memory which ultimately reduces the chances of fragmentation in future and thus helps for the storage of new files.
