Defragmentation of hard disk drives and solid state drives
“Defragmentation is the process of rearranging the data on a storage medium. When you perform defragmentation on a hard disk drive, it can improve your system’s speed and performance”, (TechTarget, 2023).
To summarize, do not defrag an SSDDefragmenting is not recommended for solid state drives. At best, it won’t do anything to help get a faster SSD drive, at worst, it will use up write cycles. If you have already defragged your SSD a few times, it won’t harm your SSD.
