Ask HN: DiskDefrag comes with “Optimize SSD” option, does it make any sense?

3 pointsby MegaLeonalmost 10 years ago
I installed the latest version of Auslogic DiskDefrag and it comes with a &quot;Optimize SSD&quot; option, says &quot;System optimization helps extend your SSD&#x27;s service life by reducing the number of write requests, since the main problem with SSD drive is the limited number of write cycles flash memory cells cab handle.&quot;<p>Does this makes sense at all? I&#x27;m no expert myself and always thought SSD required no defrag or particular care - thoguth I&#x27;d ask for opinions here.

this option do not defrag actual ssd. it will reduce the write operation, which supposed to expand the lifespan of the drive only. potentially it will reduce the performance. i would not bother.

Thirding the previous comments; the program is useless and do not defrag an SSD.

DiskDefrag itself is snake oil that does nothing of value, so take a guess. :-)
