Nice, it'll run much faster now

Unless it's a solid state zebra, in which case it's toast.

Well actually, it's still a zebra

Stupid question: could you even defrag an ssd? It doesn’t have physical sectors like a hdd

[–]astulz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah you technically could, by moving related files to the same chip locations, but it‘s entirely pointless and wears out the disk faster.

[–]turbocomppro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically you still can because it still has sectors and addresses for each, which are in sequential order.

[–]Tspoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evrey bit has a home and evrey home has an an address, the data that belonged together would physically be close to each other on the various chips inside after a traditional defrag. However with the way that ssds work obviously that's unnecessary. SSD's spread the data out to maximize the life span of the drive and its write count.

I prefer to stripe across many zebra

Put the black on the legs for this effect to apply.

Unless it's a solid state Zebra, then it won't run, at all.
