No, actually just through normal use the drives fragment enough over time that reformatting becomes unavoidable.

I must be doing something wrong, then, because I haven't ever had to reformat a drive because of fragmentation. Defragment, yes. Reformat? Anyone who reformats due to simple fragmentation is either obsessive or ignorant.

You're just bashing.

Really? Hmmm, I've never had to reformat since I installed Win2000 about 5 years ago. Defragmenting every couple of months keeps things running just fine.
