Default Defragger and SSD defrag ?

On 5/8/2018 1:50 PM, I previously wrote in part:

As Wieser describes, defragging an SSD will not accomplish anything. By
writing unnecessarily to the SSD, defragging can actually shorten the
useful life of an SSD.


I have a PNY SSD. From the PNY Web site's FAQ, I read:

Do SSDs require defragging?

No, it is not necessary or recommended to defrag an SSD. Since there
are no physical disks, there is not need to organize the data in
order to reduce seek time. SSDs have TRIM, which serves the same
basic function to make your drive faster without subjecting the drive
to the extra workload. Defragging an SSD will put undue wear and tear
on the drive and may actually shorten its life.

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

That should be Donald Trump's theme song. He obviously
does not understand "commitment", whether it is about
policy or marriage.
