SWAP Memory  (no need)

Virtual memory uses your disk as RAM. When your computer runs out of RAM, it will use your system drive to store files temporary and will swap those files back when required.

Periodic defragmentation is needed to keep the device from slowing down in performance.

With SSD disks, there are no such physical restrictions for the read/write head.
