Oh boy the memories. I used to do that monthly on my dad’s HP Pavilion. Starting at those small cubes changing color took years. And the Hard drive was only 2 GB!

Norton(?) defrag looked so much nicer with the rounded square blocks. I used to watch that.

Is this needed for the SSDs? Either for SATA or M.2s

We took 1 hour turns on the computer growing up so would defragment overnight. However, that usually led to whoever was up last staying up all night playing runescape.

no I ran this a scheduled task over night like a normal person. I was not sad to see the need for this go away… it was quite slow as I recall.
Heck yeah! Fun fact, I lost a couple of drives on my first Home Server back in 2002 because I wasn’t regularly checking the drives to see if they were fragmented. After that I had task scheduler set up to run it every other week. A lot of Napster….

The one in Windows 98 was much more enjoyable.

Not anymore. There’s no point to defragementing an SSD, the only thing you accomplish is lower its lifetime because of the massive amount of read/writes.
