I just transfered about 40GB worth of music to my MBP from another computer and I was wondering if I need to do any maintenance whatsoever ever to it after transferring a heavy load of files. Do I need to defragment my hard drive, anything of that nature? Any other maintenance programs that are a must that i should use or download as well? Thank you. :D

PS: I'm new to Mac and I love it. :p
 
OS X defrags on the fly, you don't need to ever worry about that.

however you might download onyx and run the maintenance scripts every once and awhile.
 
I had a few problems with Oynx a couple months ago. Since I bought the unibody MBP, I run Time Machine, backup business documents and Disk Utility on a weekly basis and have had no issues.
 
Defragmenting an Apple computer makes things worse not better, Windows only needs to defragment because its so rubbish. Basically OS X looks after itself. Windows = Newborn Baby, OS X = Adult.
