• HP Support Assistant - defragmenting a SSD?

  HP Support Assistant just asked me to launch a regular maintenance, which is fine.

  Then I noticed that he was trying to defragment a SSD drive, so I cancelled it.

  Is the routine support assistant smart enough to know not not to defragment a SSD?

  Obviously not, you must go in the HPSA settings and disable Defrag.

• Defragmenting the SSD?

  Am curious to know if it is recommended to defragment the SSD occasionally after the installation of a lot of data (music, video, photo), or if it is an unnecessary step for webOS?

  Never defragged SSD, although I occasionall defragmented more big flash drives and which does not seem to improve performance.

  Defrag is one of the fastest ways to kill an SSD (the 100% faster run spinrite which will quickly use up the flash memory limited write cycles)

  Defragmenting a SSD should never take place. If I am not deceived Samsung offer also software adapted to ensure that the SSDS works at optimal performance with user input. If defragmentation is schedualed on your machine win7 and SSD is your primary drive, know where your OS to turn off. I believe that win7 is smart enough to realize that an SSD is installed but I'm not sure regarding the win8.1, that this is done automatically.

• Windows 8 was willing to defragment my SSD

  I recently did a clean hit ("custom") installation of Windows 8 Pro x 64 on an SSD. Through the Control Panel, I was surprised to see that Windows 8 planned my SSD for weekly defragmentation. On the same SSD, Windows 7 turns off on its own defragmentation. I had to do it manually in Windows 8. How is it?

  Hello

  There is no defragmentation in Windows, it optimization. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/optimize-hard-drive

  With Windows 8, there is an option to 'optimize' a car. It looks like the option defragment in previous versions of Windows. However, Windows 8 recognizes that the disc is an SSD, still says he needs of optimization.

  In Windows 7, WinSAT tool disables the defragmentation on SSD. For reference, see this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880/en-us

  Could you just someone please answer very well filled. There seans to be a variety of opinions.

  It really hurt ther SSD when on? If this isn't the case, it still improves performance for SSD? What about the conventional player?

• HP - 14 r-226TX: Disk Fragmentation

  I have used avg antivirus and this is what makes that your hard drive is fragmented and it will slow down your pc and requires disk defragmentation. I don't know what it is, should I do it or not and if I do it really does speed up my pc and what software can I use for this purpose.

  This has been a debate in the world for a while. If it's a mechanical hard disk, it can't hurt to defragment. The best free program because it is a named defraggler.

• stream HP 13

  I have a Hp 13 Stream. I'm confused about optimization of the solid state drive or not?

  Optimize windows 8.1 tool to drive C says needs optimization under current status and regular optimization is configured to run every week?

  Should I or shouldn't I run windows on this drive optimization tool in solid state computers? I thought it was taboo, but on SSDS but these windows settings are confusing me.

  An explanation of the authority will be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi there @lion66

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  In response to your question on optimization (defragmentation) you drive SSD:

  You should not defragment a SSD.  It will not improve performance, as it will be on a mechanical hard drive (where an effective mechanism of data will improve disk reads).  With all the readings and the necessary paperwork, as the optimization process moves the data around, the SSD drive life is probably affected. Not really a good idea.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you.

• Access Disk Defragmenter

  In Windows 7, I can get the Disk Defragmenter icon, but when I click it nothing happens. Any ideas on how to actually access?

  See if this helps: http://www.petri.co.il/defragmenting-partitions-in-windows-7.htm

  There is at least 2 ways to launch; He already knows you, the other is the Run/Search box, enter: dfrgui, then press the Enter key.

  If you still cannot run it, then check out the list of services, which should be: "Disk Defragmenter" and the service must be on "Automatic" or "manual".

  For SSD unit Defragmenter should be disabled, as it is unnecessary to defragment a SSD.

• Norton Security Suite defragments my C drive

  Norton Security Suite that comes with my Comcast cable/phone/internet package defrags my C drive as part of the process of scanning and tuneup. Defragment my disk SSD C causes a problem on my Surface Pro?  Told me never defrag of SSD drives.

  Thank you

  Cheng,

  It is not necessary to defragment windows 8. Former boards of defrag does not apply to windows 8. Win 8 deals with the defragmentation. Do not use all of these utilities.

  The DSS that the need is even less if you defrag too will lead to the premature death of your player.

• Should I defragment HARD drive front of cloning of SSD?

  Hello everyone.

  I just bought a Pro Series Q SSD 256 GB 2.5.

  Now I want to clone my old HDD together at a new SSD using NTI Echo 3 to Toshiba.

  Should I defragment my HARD old disc before the cloning process (in this case, I wonder just about the best SSD performance and life expectancy, I dislike about the time of cloning).

  Disk defragmentation HARD impact positively on SSD performance in this scenario, or it will be irrelevant?
  I'd appreciate advice.

  Kind regards

  In my opinion, it is not necessary, but of course, it also will not affect the performance of the SSD...

• I have two SSD mounted on my computer, but I'm still allowed to defragment the

  I thought that Microsoft did not defragment you a SSD. I may be wrong that this information has been passed to me by a friend. Anyone who could clarify for me please.

  Hi Barry,.

  Defragmentation is the process to physically organize the contents of a hard drive or partition so that sectors of data of each file will be stored closer to reduce load and search times. SSDS can access any location on the disk at the same time. It is one of the main advantages on hard drives. It also means that it is unnecessary to defragment a Solid State Drive ever. So, no need for defragmentation is another advantage of Solid State Drives.

  Schedule Disk Defragmenter will not be disabled by default, but it should have the SSD unselected rather under the settings Choose disks to prevent the SSD to be defragmented when the program runs.

  For the parameters of defragmentation:

• Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

  I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

  I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

  A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

  I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

  Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

  I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

  I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

  Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

  I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.

  
  

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

  Hello!

  I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

  Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

  I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

  All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

  Hey Buddy,

  > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
  Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

  After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

  Check this box!
