I use PC tools for a registry cleaner , on a regular basis works great , My question was Reg. Mechanic has a feature called Registry DE-Frag, So I emailed PC Tools and asked if this would Harm my SSD , and They said NO and it was safe to run The Reg De-Frag, Has anyone else used this software on a SSD and what were the results??

Robert, I am glad that you are happy with PC Tools Registry Mechanic. Like mentioned in the Wikipedia article I have never read of anyone who 'ever successfully managed to measure any significant performance increase from the use of a registry cleaner.' However, I have seen friends and neighbors systems who after running one started getting bluescreens, were unable to boot, could not uninstall applications, could not apply Windows Updates, and had other problems. I have never and will never run a Reg Cleaner/Defragger on one on my systems. Why risk it if there is no measurable benefit?

Well like I said I guess it depends on the product, I always had good results with Reg.Mech. Besides if you can safely clean all that junk out of your sys , Why let it run around in your sys eating up resources??

Your missing the point I'm talking about a Registry cleaner, I do not think companies like PC Tools or Norton would include these features if it would damage someones computer, It would leave open for Massive Law suites.

ichun,
You suggestion is a good one. But with every performance change you should benchmark before and after the change to verify the value of the change.
