Is Defrag really necessary?

?

No, but you should do it now and then anyway.

it greatly improves your hard drive performance, i would extremely highly recommend doing it rather often, if you stay on top of it you wont have the "my hard drive took 6 hours to defragment!!" problem that you hear alot about, i do mine about once a week or so.
