Question
Do SSDs require defragmentation?

Answer

No. Defragmentation is not required. Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can access any data location equally fast. You should disable automatic defragmentation on your computer. Frequently defragmenting your SSD will reduce its lifespan. Please visit the OS Optimization section of Samsung Magician for help disabling automatic defragmentation.
