Hi Kevin, Actually, there seems to be some debate over whether they should be defragged or not, so I'll just say, in my opinion, I don't defrag SSD's because that creates a lot of unnecessary writes to the drive, which in turn shortens the overall life of the drive. And the way the data is written to the drive, it doesn't seem to result in any real benefit. Yes, a flash drive is solid state, but some computers, especially the old net books can have solid-state drives containing the operating system.

You do not defrag these. Defragging is for mechanical drives only.
