well the thing is most decent operating systems will just use TRIM to the ssd. Defragmenting kinda used to be physically ordering the sectors I’m not sure if that’s been abstracted by a command over ATA. But I do know that on ssds it is a command, the trim command specifically. This is because they’re fundamentally different in how they function behind the scenes. Doing sector by sector reallocations on an ssd would just destroy your writes for no gain (killing endurance), because ssds don’t actually rely on the physical layout of sectors. I mean sectors are a meme at this point but I’m using the old ass way just to clarify and provide a visual. What modern harddrives do? Fuck if I know.
