Defragmenting SSD's

[gwertheim]

Is there a need to defragment SSD's? I have one as my primary with a secondary mechanical that needs defragmenting.

 

Can anyone suggest any software I can use ONLY on my mechanical drive??

don't defrag SSDs, just don't ^^

Defraging a SSD is a very bad idea

No, there is no need to defrag SSDs and in fact it's counterproductive as you'd be using up some of its limited write/erase cycles.

No, it should have trim on it win 8 wont even let you.

No, there is no need to defrag a SSD. (it will actually reduce the life span if you do defrag it) You should be able to only defrag a single drive with windows

Use Defraggler https://www.piriform.com/defraggler

 

BUT NEVER EVER EVER EVER DEFRAG AN SSD!

Please do not defragment. The only thing it will actually do is potentially kill your ssd faster.

• Trim SSD's, don't defragment unless you have too much cash.
• There's no software required. Most newest operating systems have a built in defrag and trim thing.
