What about the massive effect on wear?
1 comments

You don’t know if there is wear. The controller is a separate computer. It may be clever and just remap blocks if you copy or move them around. It could be that defragmentation allows the system to work in a way that is better for the controller or allows that controller to place the blocks in a better way.
