I'm not at all clear what goes on in a solid state drive. I had wondered if controlling switching would take a greater time if it had to go to a relatively distant array of switches - millions of times.

The thing is, it looks like Windows doesn't differentiate from one technology to the next with its de-frag schedule. So, I wonder if it would be wise to turn it off. If one can.
