Smart enough to recognise if a drive is a SSD and won't defrag it. #10 I think i'll pass from using this software then. I have only SSD hard drives and i don't want to do something wrong to lose them. I use this program on ssds and my ssds still work. I only defrag once in awhile after writing several amounts of data in order to still maintain peak performance in read and write. This program and O and O defrag are my only two defrag software's I would trust on any harddrive to defrag it safely. #11 This program and O and O defrag are my only two defrag software's I would trust on any harddrive to defrag it safely. Smart Defrag does not have a SSD specific defrag mode. As a result, defragging with it, is not much different to using any regular defrag software. It won't kill your drive, but is not like O&O which has a defrag mode for SSDs. Last edited: Jan 27, 2021 #12 Smart Defrag does not have a SSD specific defrag mode.

That is true, but Smart Defrag is quicker, so I am willing to have a less accurate and slightly more dangerous method on a ssd to save time. O and O is the best defrag program for any harddrive as it is the most accurate and thorough but it takes longer to use. #13 That is true, but Smart Defrag is quicker, so I am willing to have a less accurate and slightly more dangerous method on a ssd to save time.

Totally agree, but the time it takes is unacceptable!!! #14 Thanks for the Giveaway, but I have already purchased the software. #15 Great deal!! I got it for free
