May I Defraggler my SSD?

Defraggler
1

I'm old. Yes! I started in this matter earlys 80's or lates 79's. By that time I bought one PC XT. The hard drive was a 20 mega capacity (Yes! 20 Mega not 20 Giga). Even though it looked like I was in heaven. I came from programing in K7 tapes and latter in floppies.

But since that age, I started to defrag hard drives and got very used to do it. When I found Piriform Defraggler I completely forgot about dos or windows defrag programs.

Now I bought one SSD. As far as I heard and read, I should not defrag it. Ever.

What you people think about that?

Many Thanks,

Don't. Reason explained.

agree, there is simply no benefit to be had in defragging a SSD due to how it accesses your stored data.

there are no mechanical moving platters or heads so re-organising data to decrease seeks times just isn't a factor with the NAND cells in SSD's.
