I'm running Parallels and a Windows 7 virtual machine on a MacBook Pro with an SSD (solid-state hard drive, the kind that doesn't have spinning platters).
Should I disable Windows 7's automatic scheduled disk defragmentation in the virtual machine, since I've read that defragmentation is counterproductive on SSDs, being something designed only for spinning hard drives? I know I'm running Windows 7 in a virtual machine on a computer with an SSD, but I worry that my Windows 7 installation through Parallels does not sense that and does not configure itself accordingly.
