Defragmenting SSD

Hello everyone! Should I use the Windows 10 built-in Disk Defragmentation to defragment my SSD? Some internet sources suggest that SSDs should never be defragmented.

 

Should SSD's be defragmented


I'm simple so I try to keep things simple and not over complicate things.

1. As far as I know their is no manufacture of SSD's that recommend using a defrag program on their SSD's. What I have read from manufactures is they do not want their SSD's defraged with any program.

2. I have not use all brands of SSD's but I would suggest just following the manufactures suggestion, tool boxes and instructions on how to maintain their SSD's.
