Exclamation Take as you interpret it folks....I ain't gonna argue the point.

I'm not sure whether or not Scandisk will do any good or not, but there is no need to defrag a solid state device.

Defraging memory


Quoted from THIS POST, from THIS (rather lengthy) THREAD.

All-in-all, a very good tretise on Fragmentation.
Quote:
The story is different for memory fragmentation, because memory access does not suffer from the data access delays that affect hard drive performance - hard drives are mechanical devices.

To access memory merely requires that the correct address is used for the required memory location. Memory access speed is therefore not affected by fragmentation, because the data is accessed by applying a series of memory addresses as required. The actual bits in the address field that have to change makes no difference whatsoever to a solid state device such as memory.

It's just as quick to change 8 address bits as it is to change 1. Defragmenting memory is just a waste of effort and shouldn't affect performance in any way.
