This is a normal post 8:24 as well
Also: Don't defrag your HD? Is that good advice or the advice of someone who likes 'buckets'?

This is a normal post I'm okay with this.jpeg
File fragmentation under NTFS isn't much of an issue in that it allocates file blocks in a similar manner to the EXT* file systems. It's possible to get MFT fragmentation, but that is seriously unlikely to make a negligible amount of difference to performance. Furthermore, if you use an SSD defragging adds write cycles (shortening the life of the device) into the mix with no net benefit.

Just MHO though and your mileage may vary.

This is a normal post I concur.
Though SSD write cycles scare is a bit overhyped (in general).

This is a normal post Agreed, it is likely overblown
especially as I only tend to keep discs a couple of years before upgrading them anyway - but it doesn't hurt to keep swap/webcache on spinning rust.
