 nope there isnt, but there aint really a reason to defrag it.

Games wipe the cache drive before they stick there stuff there. that means its 100% unfragmented.

I suppose if you copy and delete stuff from the E/F drives alot you might consider runnin it on there, but i dont think there would be much of an improvement

 Do you really think anybody cares about defraging xyz? Of course you want to defrag e and f. If you've got a 200gb hdd and often delete/install it will get very fragmented. How much it affects the drive I can't say, but mine "feels" slower in loadings. The avalaunch team claimed they were working on one, and that it worked well, but they never want to release it.

The only thing you can do as of now is to backup all the files on your box, and format the drives, then ftp the files back onto the box. There's a topic about defragers in the development forum, it's like the third topic on the list.
