[link/topic] Should You Defrag an SSD?
From Devi Garcia · Jun 21, 2020
“Defrag your hard drive” has been the cure-all advice for PC performance woes since the command line was the standard interface for home computers. It’s a technique meant to improve the performance of traditional mechanical hard drives, but do you need to defrag an SSD?
These newer solid-state disks operate on completely different principles than mechanical drives, so is there any reason to still do it? More importantly, could it actually be bad for your SSD?
To understand the answers to these questions, we have to dig a little under the surface of what it means to “defrag” an SSD drive.

this was brought up when overviewing the latest dualboot presentation for the next meeting.. that not everyone was aware SSDS don't really need defragging and/or could be bad for them.. so i found this article about it... ---- “Defrag your hard drive” has been the cure-all advice for PC
