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.

Bashing by stating an opinion ? That's a stretch...

Anyone who reformats due to simple fragmentation is either obsessive or ignorant. The article says nothing about disk fragmentation. The author was probably referring to the plague of viruses, worms and spyware on Windows computers.
