Windows says my drive is 77% fragmented, it still reads and writes as expected, should I defrag? (zerobytes.monster)

Drive G according to Windows is 77% fragmented. The drives advertised transfer speed is 285 MB/s, I get around 240 MB/s as you can see. In no way do I need a defrag, but should I do one anyways? Idk, I usually disable the standard Windows defrag immediately when I get a new drive and only defrag it once its around 80% full and then fully fill it up to "never" change any data on it ever again. I use this drive a little differently though (every day use) and so am wondering if there is any benefit to defragging it right now?
