The more you use a disk, the less efficient a defrag becomes, even if you run it on a daily basis, especially when you have small files that occupy more space than they need to.^^ Shouldnt be an issue with windows 7 onwards as scheduled defrags are default behaviour
That being said, SSD drives do not normally require defragging at all.0 -
