    SSD defrag issue?


    I'm using Auslogic Disk Defrag 9
    I have an M2 SSD and have set 'Use only SSD defragmentation' and 'Use the TRIM feature'
    The analysis shows the drive as 17% defragmented but when I run the optimisation it finishes OK but the still shows 17% defragmented
    Am I missing something?
    Is optimisation so different to defragmentation that the 17% stays the same?
    If so then what is optimisation actually doing vs defragmentation?

    :)

    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.

    Defragment & SSD

    Hi.

    I have installed a Samsung SSD 850 Evo on a Windows 10 build 10.0.14393.

    In the Defragment software, I saw "trimmed" instead of "defragmented".

    What is trim? Is it necessary to run defragment on SSD?

    Running defragment makes any problem to SSD or not?

    Thank you.

    Defragmenting SSD

    Hi Nikos, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

    Defragmenting HDDs of the past was done so that files weren't broken up across the surface of the disk, making the mechanical arm that reads the files able to access them faster.

    SSDs are an entirely different technology that doesn't have any mechanical parts, so defragmenting an SSD will have absolutely no performance increase. In fact, it's not recommended as SSDs have a limited number of access cycles before they begin to wear out,
    so defragmenting an SSD will shorten its lifespan for no reason.

    You can happily keep using the SSD without needing to defragment it! Let me know if you need further support. Thanks!
