No, it's a manually initiated operation.
It's likely more efficient to move data off and the back onto a SSD to achieve a
degree of defrag rather than the usual multipass/multimove defrag. MyDefrag has a
script for flash disks and I believe it's suggested to be used sparingly.
SSD's need to incorporate 8GB~16GB of volital DRAM mapped as a second partition (if
they don't already) for temp files before I'd go anywhere near them. In that sense
the Amiga was light years ahead of it's time with a non-volital RAM disk.

i hope they don't do auto-defragging without asking first, not needed and not
good for the ole Intel SSD... :)
Defragging is not recommended for SSD drives, just wastes read/write cycles of
the memory chips..

Valve's Steam has a built-in defrag function for similar reasons given the
massive archives that make up their games.
