Wow. I was wrong with this tweet. So I deleted it and made a snapshot of it.
Conventional wisdom is that SSDs don't need defragmentation, which mostly right, meaning partly wrong.
Windows knows it's an SSD when asked to "defrag" and does what's appropriate.

I just asked Windows to defragment my SSD, which took less than a second, because all it did was make sure any "trims" needing done were fully completed. It knew the difference between SSD and rotating disk and did what was needed.
I can't see the value of putting that in Dominion's documentation, but at the same time, it wouldn't hurt to tell Microsoft to "defrag" your SSDs because it won't actually do it, but will do some useful SSD file system maintenance.
So yes, back in the day, it was true that defragging your SSD was idiotic, but oh my I'm getting old that was a decade ago.
