I don't know if I'm mixing things up, but from what I understand, defragmentation is to put files that are scattered together, which would favor sequential reading (which could be 5 times faster than random in my tests with some memories), but as crucial state, you dont have to defrag a disk because it would not make difference in terms of speed. So if dont make difference in speed why so slow compared to sequential ?
