I used to like watch my old ones clean themselves but SSD’s put an end to that.

On a clear disk you can seek forever.

It’s been a while since I defragged — years, probably, because these days for a number of reasons computers don’t really need to.

Say what?

I don’t know anyone who did this that didn’t end up watching it. BTW, do NOT defrag an SSD.

This is the only thing I hate about SSDs. I’d like a program that at least pretends to defrag. Just made you feel better, like taking a hot shower.

For Linux users, use a live CD to run fsck (fsck -fn [/path/to/your/partition]). A live CD will ensure all partitions are unmounted. The fsck will report the percentage of fragmentation. Anything above 20% would indicate a possible need for defrag. And anything that high would be a rarity. Usually it reports in the 3% range.
