I have norton's but not on my computer, it is in a draw where it belongs. I use Drive 10 and Techtool Pro. The reason you would want to defrag is so that your drive puts files together and runs more effectent, it also frees up more consecitive space so your audio can be writen faster to disk and in one location. Make sure you fix all disk and file problems before defraging. Repair permissions after. Defraging can help your computer run faster, I do not think OSX actualy defrags itself, I run Macjanitor a freeware program to make the computer do its maintenace on demand. It dose not do any defraging.
By far it is best to get a 2nd drive for audio. As I do video also i use 4 drives in my computer.
