You can also use DisKeeper to analyse your drive periodically and determine
if the fragmentation has increased or not. You can then adjust the
periodicity accordingly. I don't work for them, I just love their program.
If you mean by "wear" the lifecycle of your HDD, you're probably right,
although I don't think you will ever notice.
