In the Optimize drives window, there is a box by the name Status and inside it one can find a table. From every listed drive, you can witness the current status of it in the last column and this tells about the fragmentation level of your drive and then provides the further advice regarding what to do. If it is Ok, it is no necessity for the Defrag or it could also mean Needs Optimization.
