    Certainly not to such an extent, it is probably a negligible matter. You can always check if host writes have arrived in the smart disk. In general, by monitoring this parameter, we can determine to what extent we use the SSD.

    Yes, that's it.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the necessity and implications of defragmenting SSDs in Windows 10. Users express concerns about whether automatic defragmentation affects SSD lifespan and performance. It is generally agreed that defragmentation is unnecessary for SSDs due to their architecture, which allows for equal access speed across the drive. While some argue that defragmentation can lead to wear from excessive write operations, others note that Windows 10 primarily performs optimization (like sending TRIM commands) rather than traditional defragmentation. Users are advised to monitor SSD health using tools like SSD-Z and SSD Life, and to be cautious with unnecessary write operations to prolong SSD lifespan.
