What made me wonder is that defragmenting stuff. By the way the article describes it the controller of the HDD chooses where to put the data and the controller is the "interface" between the actual data and the operating system/mainboard/whatever so either the controller could tell the system that the data is nicely clustered together or the defrag process would simply end up with a still fragmented HDD because due to the wear-leveling algorithms that Intel applied the controller will never put all the data into the same corner of the SSD as some defrag program would require. I wonder how that works out in practice?
