  1. but if there no trim  enabled then  OS cant    tell the ssd that block is  invalid    so garbage collection will keep moving that invalid data around  

    new writes will  go to  all free pages until none are left  or  until it hits a threshold  then garbage collection is forced to look for  invalid data

    ive read that  some garbage collection can  somehow  search  for invalid  data  and mark it  without trim telling it  but takes longer 

  2. talking about  defraggler  zerofill  for ssd's

    but what does zerofill  fill drive with  1 or 0's 

    does  zerofill fill the blocks with data or  not 

    or does it write 1's to blocks  to reset them to clean state 

    if the ssd dont support trim  how can garbage collection  know that  data is deleted

  3. i dont understand why  defragger  zero fill writes  0's to  drive  

    should't  it be writing  binary  1's to pages and blocks

    because how ssd programs  pages and blocks

    Programmed block = binary value  0 

    erased block = binary value 1 

    or  is it  just to fill  pages and blocks with   data so after   it deletes the data  the ssd triggers trim  command on all these blocks 

    but it it mostly for ssd's that dont support trim   

    or  am i getting confused because  file disk view is  showing  0's   even though it a binary 1 

     

  4.  it easy to trim a ssd in windows 7 and  up   with powershell

    Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter c -ReTrim -Verbose

    output-

    VERBOSE: Invoking retrim on (C:)...
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  0% complete...
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  100% complete.
    VERBOSE: Performing pass 1:
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  81% complete...
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  90% complete...
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  96% complete...
    VERBOSE: Retrim:  100% complete.

    Post Defragmentation Report:
    VERBOSE:
     Volume Information:
    VERBOSE:   Volume size                 = 236.60 GB
    VERBOSE:   Cluster size                = 4 KB

    VERBOSE:   Allocations trimmed         = 2246
    VERBOSE:   Total space trimmed         = 40.49 GB

    i noticed that the  Total space trimmed   will be  off 2GB  i looked online   saw other  people   output same so  it seems normal 

    Backed allocations         seem to stay that same  don't know exactly what it means  /likely means  max number of  trimmed allocations it can do at once 

    Allocations trimmed   will change

    in command line  defrag tool there is 2 ways

    defrag  c: /o /v

    defrag c: /L /v

    /O      Perform the proper optimization for each media type.

    /L      Perform retrim on the specified volumes.

    /V      Print verbose output containing the fragmentation statistics.

  5.  laptop:latitude e5270

    Drive: SK hynix SC308 SATA 256GB

    when using this laptop and running defraggler i saw that  it detects drive as a hdd  so i could not  use trim  command  in defraggler 

    also  in  health  info it don't show drive info  on left side 

    hopefully  you guys can   update  defragger to detect this ssd drive soon  

    thank you

  6. i noticed  yesterday   in defragger  when i  highlighted  a fragmented file to see what blocks it was in  it was  always  marking first one but the file it not even  listed  in it 

     

    even after fragmenting  drive  then  updating  Microsoft  security signatures again   same thing happens 

     

    it clearly  marking wrong blocks for the file

     

    i did screen shots to show you  

     

    please fix this issue soon  

     

    thanks

  7.  yesterday  i found the correct delete comand and  it deleted it  without problems  it very easy

     

    in windows xp pro  it works

    do not  know about windows 7

     

    just   open cmd and   type it in

    fsutil usn deletejounal /d C:\

     

    i am so happy  you can delete it while system is  on 

  8. i have same issue $UsnJrnl:$J gets so big before i had to reinstall my system my $UsnJrnl:$J size was massive i had not reinstalled my system for yrs the size at last time i checked was 6 or 7 GB of a 40GB drive i had more files on system then

     

    but i reinstalled xp pro and check like day later or so on sept 24 2013

     

    it was around 55,313Kb

     

    now on nov 14 2013 it's around

     

    in app 399,279KB

    in log 408861280KB

     

    i do not know if $UsnJrnl:$J gets created right away when installing os

     

    becuase first time i looked it was not there

     

    im pretty sure it was not there untill 1 day or 2 after installing OS

     

     

    can someone confirm this for me if $UsnJrnl:$J gets created right away or not when installing os

  9. my hard drive speed is normal and it in DMA mode

     

    this problem has to do with defraggler

     

    i removed more game files but it not helping seems it memory priority problem i have it on normal but still very slow

     

    and allso how it moving files i will try to explain behavior

     

    lets say it a free space block to fill that block with files it will move files that is in front of that block but will moving files all over the place

     

    instead of picking closest files that fit

     

    this problem need to be fixed

     

    please only moderators/defraggler programmers reply

     

    thanks

  11. i removed alot of large files from drive and ran it it still takes long time it had nothing to do with the free space fragments

     

     

    it is reading/writing extra slow alot slower then drive speed

     

    my drive reads and writes at 40MB /s

     

    it very hard to explain behavior at some drive locations on drive

     

    i will try to do a screen shot and mark locations
