I have been using the previous versions of Defraggler on all my systems at work and my home PC. Occasionally I would also defrag my 3 year old, very heavily used, 2 gb flash drive. All derfrags have always worked perfectly and I have be very pleased with the results using Defraggler.
Yesterday I downloaded on installed Defraggler ver 1.04.098 on my home PC and defragged my 2 120gb and 1 300gb drives.. Worked great.
I then decided to defrag my 3 week old 16gb flash drive. This drive is also used a lot at work so I figured I would defrag it and see how well defraggler 1.04 worked with my newest flash drive. The defrag only took a few minutes to complete which is normal for my other flash drive.
Now the 16gb flash drive does not work at all. The only thing I am able to do to the flash drive now is change the drive letter in Disk Management. Everything I try to do to the drive results in a Disk Media not Present, Insert Disk, or Disk not Ready messages.
I realize this is a one time happening and I cannot try this again to verify my problem as I do not have any more 16gb flah drives to experiment on. The drive has a life time warranty so is will be RMAed today.
The older versions of Defraggler worked fine with my older flash drive, but I am not sure about Defraggler 1.04 on the newer bigger high speed flash drives.
I like Defraggler a lot, but I wanted to pass along my bad experience as a word of caution.
