Question about ssd and defrag

[Martin9744]

Hey, when I ordered my pc I chose "crucial m4 ssd 128GB" and "seagate barracuda 2TB" as my hard drives. I checked online and found that windows 7 (which I have) will not automatically defrag an SSD, then I checked the disc and it said it was getting defragged automatically every wednesday at 01.00. I have never change any of these settings, so it's there by default, should I disable this?

You certainly should disable it. Defragging SSDs is not necessary and can be harmful.

you may want to check that just to be sure its not checked to defrag the ssd cant hurt I set it to never do it unless I want to [manualy] and choose what drive I want it to defrag

I did forget to add as stated above defragging of a ssd can harm it sorry
