Re: [Simply Computers] SD Cards

 

There is no need whatsoever to defrag solid state memory cards or flash
drives. All that serves to do is drastically shorten their lifespan.
Typical system writes are small, whereas a defrag overwrites the entire
drive - equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of system writes.
