    Please state which model you are referring to. Linux or XP SSD or hard drive?
    It makes a difference

    Don't worry, defragmenting and the likes are a windows thing only. There's no need for anything like that on your Linux AAO.

    What I have read from most SSD manufactures is that defraging a SSD can greatly reduce its operating lifetime. I'm not a Linux user so I don't even know if there is a defrag built it. I think its only a FAT/NTFS type concern.
