| Jul 15, 2009 at 13:33 | comment | added | Blixt | I can't say I'm educated in this area, but I believe it is because SSDs are damaged slightly every time they perform a write, and defragmenting wears out the SSD faster. Also, since SSDs have no moving parts, defragmenting SSDs gives a smaller performance gain than defragmenting HDDs. | |
