Defragmentation softwares appear to be rather popular.  I was wondering if
this practice could reduce the life expectancy of hard-drives, especially
with those inits that work in the background.  Also, has anyone experienced
data loss because of a system crash in the middle of a read/write operation?

Thanks,  Stephane
