Two machines: First was at 23%/47% fragmentation - 17% increase in file read speed Second was at 22%/44% fragmentation - 37% increase in file read speed.
The second machine was a 7200 8MB WD drive, and the first was an older Maxtor. Could faster drives benefit more from defragging?

Try this with SATA NCQ drives. I am curious on the results. By the way, how big was the file and how are the tests consistently performed?
