Should I defrag my SSD just this once?
Go to solution
Solved by Mighty_Miro_WD,
Hi there @Wickens!
You don't need and don't want to defrag a SSD because it wouldn't make your access faster, nor your speed, and it will decrease the lifespan of the drive. Since there's no physical movement in the SSD the defragging is just causing a significant number of writes for no reason, which decreases its lifespan as that is set by the number of writes per cell.
Cheers!
