lol you made me cringe, to anyone else reading don't ever defrag an SSD!
Why not? it will make the write and read speed faster
Only on a HDD (platter based mechanical drive) will it do that. SSD is a completely electronic memory based drive it's the same write and read speed over the entire drive. No defrag required on an SSD.
Furthermore, you burn the write cycles and will prematurely trash your ssd.
Further -aren't you meant to not defrag large HDD's?
@useful defragging an SSD won't make it read or write any faster. To make an ssd stay fast you must create the partition to be 20% smaller than the total drive space so you leave 20% unallocated. Then your OS will automatically use the TRIM command to optimise it.
@nakedposition: nah if it's larger then you are more likely to have larger free space and it will be able to defrag it easier with less read/write operagions
You know I was joking right lol
This one here is always free https://www.piriform.com/defraggler
Yes I recommend Defraggler as the best free option but O&O defrag is better for severe fragmentation that defraggler can't handle. I've had defraggler only be able to get certain drives down to 22% fragmented using the non-quick defrag yet O&O defrag can get it down further, maybe works better on drives with less free space or something I'm not sure exactly.
Is this software better than ashampoo one? I keep getting errors on the ashampoo disk defrag.
Having never used the Ashampoo one I can't say for certain but I've never gotten errors using this software.
thanks.
this a great program for older HDD drives
Whats the difference between version 18 that is free and version 19 that is paid?
The free one i loved seems dead.
or jkdefrag
The version number. It's like office how there aren't many new features, just UI tweaks. There's only so much you can do with a defragging algorithm.
Nice thanks. Time to defrag all the cheap SSDs I bought over last year with the help of OzBargain. :)
