Question:

Is it necessary to defragment the internal hard drives of the Ciphertex NAS Product?

Answer:

No.

It is not necessary to defragment the NAS product.
The NAS uses the EXT3 and EXT4 with journaling file systems.
Unlike the FAT and NTFS filesystems, the journaling file system provides better file location methods to avoid file fragmentation.
