Do I Need to Periodically Defragment a SSD?
Hello everyone. Me again
I have another question:
I recently replaced my primary HD (gave up the ghost) and decided to go with a SSD this time (and let me tell ya, my comp boots up sooo much faster now).
Anyway, I use a program called, "BoostSpeed" that optimizes the SSD. I also use Win10's defrag app. Moreover, I'm constantly downloading/copying/deleting/moving & creating files -> so the drive gets a good work out, I think.
Do I really need to use programs like BoostSpeed and Win10 defrag? How frequently should I run these apps?
I think what contributed to my HD crashing was constantly running programs like Defraggler & CCleaner's "Wipe Free Space."
After jumping in and paying a hefty sum on a 1 TB SSD, I want to extend the life of it for as long as possible!
Thank you.
