Don’t defrag flash drive

Should you defrag your flash drive? The answer is no. Because

1. Flash drive does not work like a hard disk. There is no read/write head exist. Therefore, no matter where the data is save, it will not burdened the flash drive.
2. There is a limit in the number of time that you can write to your flash drive. Defrag process involves read and write. As a consequence, your flash drive will die sooner.

So, don’t waste your time defragging the flash drive. Save it for your hard drive.
