"red-i" is right. Defragging is a waste of time on a solid state device as there is no benefit achieved. Any byte of data can be read from any location of RAM in exactly the same timeframe with no delays like waiting for a disk to spin a particular sector under the read/write heads.

That doesn't apply to CF or SD cards however. They are formatted in the same manner as a hard drive might be - in this case they use FAT. Because of the way that files are written to such a file system there is potential for fragmentation.
