I'm trying to decide if it is important to get a Disk File Optimizer license in this context:

Any thoughts on the usefulness/liability of regular execution of a disk defragmentation utility on OpenVMS executing on an Integrity server only
equipped with SSD mass storage?

I grasp the liability of frequent defragmentation on an SSD accelerating wear with little return.

Just for reference/comparison purpose, MS Windows 10 occasionally defragments SSD's on an as-needed basis.
