Personally, periodic OPTIMIZATION monthly (when a System is actively TRIMming SSDs) is more than enough. that won't excessively WRITE that device if used only once a year. If you really feel you need to defrag an SSD, you may use any standard disk defrag tool (the ones that move everything) and run it no more than yearly. The same process may be performed in W7 using the SSDtool. SD4 is the perfect complement to any PC based security software, offering light and stable disk defragging and streamlines your frequently used. If you really feel it needs to be done, the OPTIMIZATION process available in W8+ is more than enough. San Francisco, March 10th, 2015 - IObit, leader of PC optimization and security software, gets prepared to release the newest version of their popularly downloaded Smart Defrag software, Smart Defrag 4. Products that say SSDs require special defragging say that mostly because they want to sell themselves, not because the SSD really needs it done. I'm really not sure why people seem to feel they need to defrag an SSD. Windows, itself, will perform a very small defragging process on certain Windows file structures (on SSDs) to make Windows access to those structures much more efficient. too much unneeded WRITING of the storage element (the bane of SSDs as far as life is concerned).Īs you've probably heard many times, SSDs really do not require a defragging process like an HDD does. If the app defrags a SSD exactly like it would for an HDD, that's bad in the log run.
