    Win10 2004,SSD Defrag issue


    Hi

    I need a bit of help here. I saw this video on Youtube and I found he was talking about the latest version of Windows 10, 2004 which has the problem of defragmentation which as according to him is dangerous and might shorten the life of SSD drives installed. I also have an SSD as a C drive and a mechanical drive on my laptop and I wanted to know if this is true?

    I have not yet turned off the defragmentation as told from the video but I want you to see this and then guide/advise what should I do?

    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!
