To answer your question, if you are constantly creating files, deleting files, creating more files, 1000's of sys files, deleting those and updating a new version of 1000 sys files yes, your drive will become fragmented very quickly.
Some of the other posters are correct, Diskeeper is just the full version of the windows defragger. they are both made by the same company
all the defrag options are pretty good tho. Diskeeper, O&O etc.
I have a linux headless fileserver that im using as network attached storage formatted in EXT4, cause i dont like to defrag all the time
hehe
