Trying to speed up mbp defrag/cloning?

[Jaspitzer]

I was thinking about defraging my MBP in hopes of speeding up my computer and I came across this post while searching about trying to figure out the best way to do so.

A much safer way to achieve the same results (without trusting a 3rd party app to root through all your files) is to simply clone your HD to external backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Then boot to the clone, erase the internal drive, and clone back to the internal HD.

In the end you'll have a defragmented system drive and an external backup... but you had one of those already, right?

I'm just trying to speed up my mbp a little bit. I bought it at the end of 2010. What's the best way to increase speeds or to wipe the hard drive and start over?

You don't need to defrag on Mac OS X, except possibly when partitioning a drive.

You probably won't need to optimize at all if you use Mac OS X.
