Even on windows using NTFS defragmentation isn't neccessary if you do not fill the disk too much. Tools for defragmentation only exist, because some people fmilar with Windows 95/98 and the Fat file system ask for such tools and are willing to spend some money for this.
NTFS gets very fragmented even when under 50%.
Most Unix and Linux filesystems are able to prevent fragmentation based
on the buffering done in the kernel. (I'm being a bit general here).
