I heard on the internet that defragmenting an SSD is quite harmful. I was wondering if it is true, and if so, why? I've already done it a few times and it didn't seems to be broken at all.

Unlike platter drives, SSD drives can only be written to a set number of times. By defragmenting you are shortening your drive's lifespan for very little gain.

Fragmented files don't affect the speed of a SSD drive in any noticeable way so there is no reason to defragment.
