Its never been a question if fragmentation happens on an SSD. It does. The
question is whether or not its worth de-fragmenting:


   1. Are you getting a worthwhile performance gain?
   2. Is the effort required deteriorating ROI due to user interference or
   shortened MTF in a cost-prohibitive manner?


Everything I have read indicates that it significantly hurts the MTF, and
the performance gain is negligible.  ROI of course can vary greatly
depending on what you are doing with the equipment, and what that means to
you fiscally.  So, it is possible that defrag'ing an SSD is a worthwhile
investment.

I would imagine that is something akin to the way [fraudulent] investors
short the stock market by paying for their analytical servers to be
physically closer to the Exchange's servers.  Thus gaining micro-seconds of
advantage for every trade.
