Swap files have been around forever. You really don't need to worry about
file fragmentation on an SSD because of the way files are written and being
handled by the controller. Partitions are contiguous, so they don't get
fragmented, but all the writes would be confined to a smaller space on an
Technically that would be a trim operation. Fragmentation is not a thing on
an ssd as it can read from multiple blocks. And forcing it to run will only
burn up your write cycles.
