I've had this PC with these drives for a year now and haven't defragged them even once. And I haven't noticed that any of them are particularily slowing down. I used to defrag every now and then before, but never noticed any gain at all. So I just don't bother with it at all now, and everything is fine. Well apart from that HD that fails every now and then but that isn't a fragmentation issue.
It did cross my mind the other day that it may be time to do it though. Perhaps I will soon.

I haven't done if for a few months - never sure if it actually speeds things up at all, it sort of seems slightly faster but that could just be a placebo-style effect.

I don't defrag very often, mostly it's only applyable for the disks which have a lot of traffic, otherwise you don't have to defrag.

About 4 or 5 years probably.
I was going to say 2 or 3 years but forgot that it is now 2007.

2 or 3 years + 1 year is 3 or 4 years not 4 or 5.

You said 2-3 years. Then you noticed we have 2007, thus 1 year more. So 2+1 year = 3 and 3+1 year = 4. So you should have said 3-4 and not 4-5.
