For magnetic hard drives, a contiguous block arrangement results in faster read and write performance. This is not the case for SSDs. Which of the following concerns is important even for SSDs: O Both fragmentation and internal fragmentation are a concern for SSDs. O Only internal fragmentation is a concern for SSDs. Only fragmentation is a concern for SSDs. Neither fragmentation nor internal fragmentation are a concern for SSDs.

Answer:

Considering the concern in case of faster read and write performance of an SSDs. SSDs are able to read blocks of data that are spread out over the drive just as fast as they can read those blocks that are adjacent to one another. Hence external fragmentation is not a concern for SSDs. In case of Internal fragmentation, the internal fragmentation happens when the required space or memory is less than allocated memory considering the read and write performance of SSDs this is also not a consern for SSDs but the memory wastage occurs in SSDs when there is internal fragmentation. So internal fragmentation and fragmentation are not major concerns in read and write access of SSDs but still the fragmentation cause memory wastage. Also writing only the continous first blocks of memory worn out those memory blocks over time in SSDs. Fragmentation helps SSDs to last longer by writing to the whole storage non continously.

ANSWER : Neither fragmentation nor internal fragmentation are a concern for SSDs
