Disk fragmentation is inevitable... Do we need to prepare?

OK I have a slightly older node (10 months) with 1.45TB of data and after 4h I managed to get a defrag report.
Note that I defragmented this volume a couple of time around 3 months ago

Stats:

Unfragmented:  4 377 037 items
Fragmented:      322 718 items
Gaps:            186 392 gaps

“Big picture”

PS: I can’t do the same on my big node, it’s over 17TB of data and the reports will take weeks to generate.
