Hi
The image below shows the performance of my drives after being tested by Defraggler.
The F drive is the drive that I store my Backup System Image files on, and it is the only one, (based on information that I've read that says don't defrag your backups) that has never been defragmented.
There is a pretty big contrast between the performance of this drive, (a partition of the same drive that shares the E drive, and the other drives.
Granted this is an extreme example, since the drive is very fragmented but it does show that defragmenting does really make a difference.
I use Defraggler to defragment my drives because it will allow you to defragment individual files.
I have found that when processing large 3D animations into video that having the file defragmented can be the difference between having the process stall and not complete and having is sail through with no problems.
Now whenever I do it I defragment the file first.
A file made up of 1,000 1920 by 1080 images can get pretty big.
Even a 10 second clip is 300 frames, and I've sometimes done clips as long a 2.400 frames when lip sync is involved.
