Re: DEFRAGMENTATION OF STORAGE CARD

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Flash media physically wears out, so storage cards have internal controllers
that handle fragmentation and wear levelling. In fact it's unlikely that
the controller can be bypassed to give you raw access to the physical media.
Flash is also inherently a slow media, so if you're expecting speed, you
probably need to rethink how you use it. You'll never get performance from
flash media.
