Re: Anyone ever defrag their microSD card?

Most flash memory devices support a certain number of rewrites per sector before those sectors start to error. As defragging results in a large number of rewrites it can shorten the life of a device particularly if done repeatedly. As others have already pointed out there should be no decernable performance benefit from defragging flash devices.
