Do we really want to defrag SSD? What i heard and read so far is that this defrag process can be very detrimental to SSDs.

cheers ...

That's why I said defrag is sooo 2005. The extra writes caused by the defrag process will cause the SSDs performance to degrade. That's why a trim or garbage collection process is necessary.

I tend to agree with SSDs about forgetting the defrag on them. But for other HDD types, defrag still play an important role, albeit not overdoing it.

Windows 7 would (always) send a TRIM command to SSDs, but it is up to them to support it via their own firmware.

Windows 7 can verify if SSD is present, then disable defragmentation for that drive.

If the hardware controller reports a rotational speed to Win 7 or if you are not using the Win 7 ata controller driver it will not send trim commands.
