SSD fragmented?

[Wolvie56X]

i read a few posts on this about not worrying because its a good thing and if you defrag, it will wear out the SSD faster

so just wondering at what point in fragmentation on a SSD is bad?

and if so, do you run TRIM or something to fix it? not the system defrag

Defragmenting will cause massive random writes and basically the SSD mapping tables look like a jungle afterwards. Due to the many mappings from logical LBA to internal flash cells, the HPA mapping tables become crowded leading to lower performance - read or write - to those areas. It also causes massive write amplification if you don't have TRIM capability.

The only remedy that restores full performance would be a HPA Secure Erase, using HDDerase.exe.
