You know you shouldn't as it reduces their lifespan and you are told it makes no difference
----------------------------------------but.... You know when defraggler says something along the lines of "SSD Detected are you sure you want to continue?" Are you, like me, compelled to press the "Yes" button ?   |

Crucial, one of the best memory chip experts in the world offers the following advice:
http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drive...rformance-loss/ta-p/71051 Another expert is Microsoft. You might notice that Win7 and the new Win8 automatically keep you from attempting a defrag on an SSD. Lastly, what you might consider as defrag on a ssd is a built in process known as TRIM. Win7 forward supports TRIM, however Vista does not. Even then, Crucial does not recommend defrag. Hope this is helpful. Breynold@us.ibm.com Captain of team Unitarian Universalists (9) |
