Thread: Hard drive partitions quickly defragment

You can access speed to your standard hard drives - optimize by defragment the drives - not on SSDs (Solid State Disc).Fragmentation occurs when you save files on the hard disk, delete others, again save new files, and so on - so at the normal PC use.Then, as the next software you install, in fact several are stored on the hard disk caused memory leaks.The joining of these parts will then take over reading a longer piece.


For Windows Vista and 7, you start with the standard defragmentation function clicks on Windows icon, click All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.Select a drive from the main window, and analyze disk click.After a few seconds you see the degree of fragmentation of the drive.He is double digits, disk defragment click.






In Windows XP, the default function of defragmentation is not very satisfactory.Use this instead, the program Auslogics Disk Defrag fromPC WORLD-problem-solver package.After you defragment drive the program by clicking on start, you see all the available disk partitions, each listed with a hook before.Click on the arrow next to Defragment and select Analyze.After completion of the investigation to remove the hook from all drives that only have a single-digit level of fragmentation, and click the Defragment.Auslogics Disk Defrag also works under Windows Vista and 7 .


For Solid State Disc is a defrag neither reasonable nor advisable. Because the data is stored in them in flash memory blocks.There is thus no rotating platters, no read-write head, and thus no reason to store the data physically contiguous.


On the contrary: the life of the SSD would even shorten.For a flash cell can only handle a limited number of writes before it can be changed any more and just read.
