I don't hate trees so I'd probably either looked it up as needed and remembered or kept it saved.

Is it still a bad idea to defragment a 66% fragmented SSD?

@JourneymanGeek ^

hm

"Fragmentation" doesn't work the same way on SSDs

so no real point. Wierdly fragmentation might actually be a good thing

@JourneymanGeek Supposedly due to the additional IOPS required to random-read an SSD, a 50% fragmented SSD will have a 10% sequential performance penalty

On the other hand - many SSDs either scramble or ENCRYPT information to split it up in order to improve performance

I've not done serious research into this in a while but... its a thing

Also

why isn't your OS automatically doing that?

Winblows automatically optimizes (aka trims) SSDs on a weekly basis.
