How much Fragmentation / Churn will VSS Cause?

$

We have multiple file servers with 2-25TB on them.  I'd like to enable Shadow Copies on these data volumes, however, I'm concerned that enabling VSS will causing excessive fragmentation of the data on these volumes, decreasing performance.   How much fragmentation/churn will occur when enabling VSS on data volumes?  (Ideally, I'd put the VSS storage on a separate volume, however, this causes conflicts within our backup solution.)

Our Data Profile: 95% of our data is JPG's and does not ever get changed or modified.  The other 5% is misc files including word documents.  The word documents get changed most frequently and other than that, it's new data being added at a rate of 10GB/day.
