I wouldn't recommend it. In fact I would recommend against it. Flash memory has a limited lifecycle of reads and writes. Defragmenting it eats away at this lifespan significantly. Plus I have tried defragging a flash drive, it died several months later. Just goes to prove my point. Many newer OSes such has windows 7 and windows 8 will automatically "TRIM" the SSD which optimizes the drive by telling it which blocks were used but are now considered empty. Trimming an SSD takes only seconds and is much more safe and effective than defragmentation. Rember Defragmentiation was designed to make it so the read-write head didn't have to travel as far to read or write the data; kinda like an old vinyl record but in reverse, the data starts at the center. If there are no moving parts there is no need to defragment. It would be great if piriform could make derfaggler TRIM SSDs tough!

I would like to sugests that Speccy be made available for mac. I use Speccy to create system profiles of all my customers's Windows PCs and attach the .Speccy files to their records in my database. I am lacking this functionality on Mac. Right now I am currently exporting information form apple system profiller to a text file and attaching that to each customer's profile, but that doesn't work as nicely as the . Speccy files,. My current method for Macs gives me the same information, but it's all in one flat text file, and i have to read through the whole text file in order to understand the hardware specs. Thanks
