As discussed above, there is no point in defragging an SSD, because the drive operates quickly enough that you are unlikely to notice any difference in access speeds between a non-fragmented and fragmented file system, but the defrag process will shorted the life of the drive.
As such, most modern defrag utilities (like the one built into Windows) won't let you defrag an SSD. Older ones might let you, but I would still advise against it.
