Defrag and hard disk wear question

[JC00]

Will defrag and scandisk wear down a hard drive if done regularly? How many times a year should defrag be done?

[TwoRails]

Defraging will not hurt your drive. Depending on use, some go one or two times a weeks, some go a month before defraging.

My drives defrag daily - using Diskeeper Pro.
