Mladen sometimes asking about the motivation behind a question brings to 
light new information that makes the original question no longer 
relevant. In this case it might bring to light a better solution than 
"Shake", or else methods for determining if fragmentation is harmful or 
not.

I don't believe people are asking in order to either flame you or insult 
your intelligence, but there is genuine interest in why you are wanting 
to defrag. There is a lot of expertise on this list - indulging a little 
curiosity will only help you get better value for your questions.

Cheers

Mark

P.s: I'm curious too :-)

      Let's stick to the original question and leave my motivation for
      some other time. Have you used the product? If you have, I'd be
