I have an Intel x25m 160Gb (G2) SSD. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I'm confused about the need to run "defrag" programs or not.
My understanding is that with Windows 7 and having a G2 SSD, TRIM is enabled automatically and this will do whatever housekeeping to my SSD that is necessary. Is this correct, please?
Diskeeper has "Hyperfast" for SSDs and Perfectdisk has the "consolidate free space" command. Will either of these damage my SSD if I run them? Can I run them (either of them) at the same time as having TRIM enabled? Will my SSD benefit from either of them being run in addition to the TRIM feature?
What I have read on the web suggests that neither of these third party programs are necessary but this is not what is said on the Diskeeper and Perfectdisk websites.
Grateful for some advice, please. I have x2 HDDs for data and I will run defrag on them in the normal way.
Thanks.
