jasondhsd Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Perfectdisk and Diskkeeper are claiming that their defrag programs work to improve life and performance of SSD. http://www.perfectdisk.com/support/kb/791 http://www.diskeeper.com/hyperfast/ I was always told never to defrag ssd and even Windows 7 automatically turns off defrag. What is the deal with these? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00py Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I do believe they can't actually defrag, because of the firmware and wear levelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trond Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm no expert, but would really love to hear a more detailed explanation how defragging a SSD is going to "enormously increase the peak speed", as stated in the second link. I wonder on what basis they make that claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed6698 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I use Perfectdisk 10. I do not use it to do a normal defrag so to speak. I use it to consolidate free space. I believe Diskkeeper works in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyc Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Perfectdisk 11 out soon ... with enhanced features for SSD's ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
