[SOLVED] Question about Disk Defragment

[AaronKyle]

As you can see on the image it says that my SSD needs optimization but it also says analyzation or optimization has never been run? I suppose that implies that it's never been manually run because I let my PC do the work?

It says that driver are being analyzed weekly so should I do it manually or just let my PC do it?

SSDs don't need defragmentation, better yet, this could severely shorten the lifespan of the device!

Read more about it here if you'd like, but trust me, simply don't defrag any SSDs you might have:

Solid-state drives aren't anywhere near as small and fragile as they used to be.

Thanks for the reply. So I should leave weekly scans on as they are and not defrag it myself?

Not a problem! If you're planning to add your old HDD back, you could choose to turn on defragging on for that, but I'd turn it off for the SSD altogether.
