I purposely did a bunch of large file operations at the same time knowing it would cause the MFT to grow and become full of runs and building a large attribute list with the idea of just defragging when done. However Win10 won't let me defrag the drive because it's SSD, it just wants to trim it. I want to defrag so the low level file system layout isn't all broken up to a bunch of lookups. I could now make copies of the files then delete the originals, but that is manual, that's why I did it all at once so I could just walk away for a few hours.

How can I override Win10 and the like to defrag an SSD drive or is there a 3rd party available?

Thanks!

UltraDefrag portable version 7 has the option to defrag the MFT.

It will also defragment a SSD if your ok with the whole excessive writing to your SSD thing.
