[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1507394, member: 234411"] Well, from my understanding, responses already given here, and further searching, a SSD drive (whether as a computer drive, USB flash drive, SD card, etc.) does not need to be defragmented ever! In fact, defragmenting such a drive may reduce its lifespan although whether this will be w/i the lifespan of its use would be debatable? SO, no defrag on a MBP w/ a SSD drive - question answered! NOW, how about the question on a Fusion drive which I'll also be buying in the next few weeks - my initial 'gut' feeling is to forget about defragmentation, but maybe an Apple hardware engineer would need to respond to this one? Not sure - but would appreciate any comments - thanks. Dave [/QUOTE]
