Questions: Does it make you feel better or does your HDD "feel" better? Does your HDD trash more (work harder) defragging or seeking files on a non-fragmented drive or using the swapfile?

It's a can of worms AFAIC.

The drive thrashes less, database access is significantly faster -
all the way round better drive access speed.
