Defrag registry?

I have an Intel 160Gb SSD. I know that I shouldn't run a defragment on it, but is it OK to defrag the registry?

Probably not necessary to defrag the registry - but it is not the same as defragging the hard drive, so if you would feel better about doing it, I don't think it would hurt like doing a file system defrag. The registry files (hives) are pretty small compared to the size of the operating system. Let us know if it speeds things up

Does anyone else have an opinion on this topic? Not that I don't trust you Mister IT, I would just like to have a few more opinions.

I dont think it would wear the SSD like defraging would, But I dont think you would gain any performance from doing a registry defrag on a SSD.

If you are using a specific tool, take a look at the support forums (if one exists) of the tool and ask them

there. Let us know if you find an answer you are satisfied with, as I am sure someone will ask this again.
