![]() ![]() ![]() Defragmentation may decrease lifespan for certain technologies, e.g. However, defragmentation is not helpful on storage devices such as solid state drives, USB drives or SD cards that use flash memory to increase speeds, as these drives do not use a head. As a result of the decreased read and write times, Microsoft Drive Optimizer decreases system startup times for systems starting from magnetic storage devices such as a hard drive. ![]() Defragmenting a disk minimizes head travel, which reduces the time it takes to read files from and write files to the disk.
