Hi, I'm a long time Defraggler user for HDDs, but I'm still relatively unschooled on SSDs. I did search for other threads, but did not spot answers to either of these questions.
I have two SSDs, both made by Samsung: A month old 256GB 850 Pro (this is my OS drive with Windows 8.1 x64 Pro currently installed), and a slightly older 1TB 840 EVO with games and Steam. (I also have a mechanical drive with "everything else" like music, videos and data files).
I have not used Defraggler on either of these drives yet, but I have run the Windows "Optimize Drives" (TRIM) on both.
1) Should I ever perform a boot-time defrag, since my OS drive is an SSD? I'm guessing "no" but would like confirmation. I do know that a "normal" defragging of an SSD is never recommended.
2) Since these are newer, TRIM enabled drives, what is the difference (if any) between Defraggler's SSD Optimize* and the Microsoft built in "Optimize Drives" function? *I know Defraggler would be zero filling older, non-TRIM drives, but these are both TRIM enabled.
Thank you all for your time reading this and for any insight you can provide!
