Defrag SSD

DXP55 · 9 Apr 2014 at 12:41

I have a Samsung 240g SSD on Windows 7 and know that you should never defrag them - I read the other day that windows might be doing it automatically on a schedule - So clicked defrag in System tools to see if it was set to defrag on regular basis but nothing came up on screen.

Now is this because it defrags in background or the Samsung installation disc has turned it off from start - I don't want to keep clicking Defrag.

If on a schedule where can I find that.

My system spec is below.

Thanks

Windows 7 won't defrag an SSD by default anyway - It was off for me when I upgraded to an SSD in the schedule.

Thanks for the link - it wouldn't let me past first step so Win 7 has recognised it

Thank you both (Elevon and mrk ) for replies - put my mind at rest.
