But this is really no different than making sure the blocks in a file are stored contiguously and sequentially, which is what a defragger is supposed to do anyway. ![]() ![]() It can certainly make some educated guesses about the flash page size, and try to consolidate files into as few logical pages as possible, on the assumption that this will in turn map to the fewest possible number of distinct physical pages. A defrag tool running on the host does not have any knowledge of (or control over) the wear leveling or block allocation algorithms being used internally by the SSD firmware, other than what is exposed via the TRIM logic.
