When Should You Defragment Your Hard Drive in 2025?

If you’re still using a laptop with an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) in Pakistan, you’ve probably heard about defragmenting to make it faster. But with SSDs (Solid State Drives) becoming common, many users wonder: Is defragmentation still necessary in 2025? Let’s clear the confusion ????


✅ What is Defragmentation?

  • Over time, files on an HDD get scattered (fragmented).
  • Defragmentation rearranges them for faster access.
  • On SSDs, defragmentation is unnecessary and even harmful.
