|
|
SSDs have more moving parts so they wear more easily
|
|
|
The location a file is stored on an SSD does not affect how quickly it can be accessed
|
|
|
SSDs are fast enough it doesn’t matter
|
|
|
Moving files physically on the SSD can contribute to wear and can reduce their lifespan

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, SSDs don’t need defragging since the optimization of access speed is not required. So, you should avoid repeatedly defragging your SSD. That’s because it will generate unnecessary, random writes to your SSD drive and also reduce the service life.
Detailed explanation-2: -SSDs move data that’s already on your disk to other places on your disk, often sticking it at a temporary position first. That’s what gives defragmenting a disadvantage for SSD users. You’re writing data you already have, which uses up some of the NAND’s limited rewrite capability.
Detailed explanation-3: -As mentioned above, SSDs have a limited rewrite capacity. The process of defragmenting a drive involves rewriting files to new positions on the drive, effectively lowering the lifespan of your SSD without providing any benefits.
Detailed explanation-4: -Disk Defragmenter consolidates the fragments to one location on the disk drive. As a result, Windows accesses files faster, and new files are less likely to be fragmented.
Detailed explanation-5: -Solid-state drives have a limited amount of writes in them, and anything that results in many needless additional writes will decrease the life span of your drive. If you find an SSD optimization program that claims to defragment your SSD for maximum performance, stay away.
