That's right, Ross. There's no point in defragging a solid state drive. And the Win 7 auto defrag is only on if it's been turned on. Just open the defragger and it should show if scheduled defrag is on.

Hi ;folks, Have been checking out defrag and fiddling with it, as you do. But apparently there's no point on applying de frag to an ssd as it doesn't have those access time issues of scattered data that a sata disk would do? Anyone comment on this? And does win7 have some sort of background defrag happening? So can this be turned off all together as it would be of no use for my ssd c drive. Apparently defrag a ssd drive can shorten it's life. Probably not by much but hey? Ross.
