Do not defrag SSD-s
I strongly hope that this software refuses defragging SSD drives. As it is (hopefully) known, SSD-s are true random access memories, therefore there is absolutely no need to defrag them, what is more, frequent and heavy read-write operations (like defragging) decreases the life span of SSD-s.
Win10 (storage mgmt) refuses this, but I would not like to use Win as an argument...
Almost...
It doesn't completely refuse, but instead prompt asking if we really want to defrag it.
ipsis litteris: "Volume C: appears to be solid state. Desfragmentation may reduce its lifetime. Are you sure you want to continue." and user can choose Yes or No
Bad tool for SSDs
Hi this is really bad. Good defragmentation tools should detect SSDs and TRIM them in order to optimize them and not ask to defrag it..
Defraggler has TRIM
Defraggler has the TRIM function: https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/204044034?mobile_site=true
strange
Ok thanks. So I don't understand the following answer.
"ipsis litteris: "Volume C: appears to be solid state. Desfragmentation may reduce its lifetime. Are you sure you want to continue." and user can choose Yes or No"
Defrag vs Optimize
That message, as far as I can tell, comes up when attempting to use the "Defrag" option on a SSD. Instead, the "Optimize" option should be selected to use the TRIM functionality.
[Edit] I'll note that I don't have an SSD to test with, unfortunately.
Ok thanks, if I have time
Ok thanks, if I have time tomorrow I will check it and report back
It works
Sorry for being late. Yes it works with the optimize option and filling the free space with zero.
