Flash memory firmwares will actually fragment data intentionally, in a practice known as wear-leveling, which helps to prevent specific cells from being overused and wearing out more than others.įlash-based devices generally benefit from TRIMing, but Android 4.3 or higher will do this for you automatically. In fact, defragmenting flash media could potentially be detrimental, because it will wear the memory faster while not providing any benefit. Flash media has none of these moving parts, and therefore does not suffer from the same problems as mechanical drives. The reason defragmenting is beneficial to mechanical hard drives is because it makes related data blocks contiguous, so that they can all be read in order as the disk is spinning and minimizing the amount of movement needed from the drive heads. It serves no purpose, because access to any flash cell is going to take the same amount of time as access to any other flash cell. Thank you for viewing.There's no reason to defragment flash media. Once this completes, you should notice a difference in loading times on your computer.

There are also software applications that are just for defragging that typically do a better job than the built-in defrag, but you have to pay for most of them. Windows comes with a built-in defragmenting software. So, defragmenters work by putting files together that should be together so the hard drive doesn’t have to go all over the platters to find the information.

Well, the next time I wish to install something, it will fill in those blanks, which once it happens several times, can make your hard drive do a LOT more work than it has to.
