Why is it bad to defragment an SSD?
In: Technology
Defragging is to move pieces of files around to be one continuous file in the file system. On a normal hard drive this means faster read times as the physical head has to move less to read all the parts of a file as they are next to each other on the physical disk. SSD’s have a lifetime amount of reads/writes they can do. However SSD’s do not get any improvement from defragging. All the defragging does is move the files in the file system using up the life of the drive for no real benefit.
