Yes, it's always a good idea to defragment your hard drive regularly. It will make things a little faster, but you might not notice the difference much. It's still a good idea, though.

Its always good to defrag your hdd. Just set it up to do it once a week or every other week and forget about having to do it.

It can make it faster if its seriously fragmented, like 80% or so. All defraging does is takes pieces of files and puts them all together so that windows doesn't have to jump around looking for them on your hdd.
