Detailed explanation-1: -The answer is short and simple-do not defrag a solid state drive. At best it won’t do anything, at worst it does nothing for your performance and you will use up write cycles. If you have done it a few times, it isn’t going to cause you much trouble or harm your SSD.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, SSDs do get fragmented. Does it impact performance as much as regular hard drives? No. Fragmentation just refers to the placement of files out of order.
Detailed explanation-3: -We don’t recommend using Defraggler’s defrag function on SSDs: The defrag functions of Defraggler should not be used on solid-state drives since they may shorten the lifespan of these drives or even damage them outright while also having no impact on the drive’s performance.
Detailed explanation-4: -A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage device used in computers. SSDs store data using flash-based memory, which is much faster than the traditional hard disks they’ve come to replace.
