Hi everyone,
What is the best program to use to defragment/optimize a volume running OS 10.3.5? I know some of you will say OS X does not need to be defragged or optimized. However, I am creating a standard OS image for our company, and would like the master image to be defragged and optimized before it is deployed to our Macs.
Thanks!

Apple's thoughts on this...
You aren't going to get any "real-world" use out of optimizing, I wouldn't really worry about it. The only thing I would do is run DiskWarrior before making the master image and call it good...

I've heard that Micromat's Drive 10 is pretty good at defragmenting and optimizing your hard drive.

It won't matter, because when you clone the image to the target drives, the files will be copied contiguously.

Yes, I was under the impression that simply cloning your HD and then restoring it was as good as defragmenting it using commercial software for the above reason.
