Autohide DVD drive option

Most of the time, users will never be defragging a floppy drive.

Same goes for installed CD/DVD media.

But they show up in defraggler, anyway.

_________________________________________________________

Can you include an option for users to checkmark that will allow a user to specify to auto-hide drives such as:

- Floppy Drive A: (if installed)

- Floppy Drive B: (if installed)

- All CD/DVD drives: (if installed)

_________________________________________________________

Flash drives may drain write cycles if "defragged" so the option to auto-hide:

- Flash Drives

- Solid State (SSD) Drives

_________________________________________________________

When hiding the flash type drives, Defraggler should show the flash & SSD drives greyed out (with a "This drive cannot benefit from a defrag") beside of it.

This would help users a lot.

Not only would this simplify the drives in the list for multi-drive defrags, but it would make me feel safer using it...

Thanks, guys!

Are you sure about that, my CD and DVD burner do not show up in Defraggler list of drives.

As for SSD and Flash drives I think Defraggler should still access them, however it should display a warning box before starting i.e. "WARNING FLASH/SSD DETECTED, DEFRAGGING WILL INCREASE HARDWARE FAILURE [Cancel] [Ok]".

Under Windows 7 (Defraggler 2.05), Floppy disk A: shows up as Removable Disk (A:)

I did not see my DVD burner, so you are correct on that I suppose. Using windows Device Manager to re-disable it for now. Still needs to:

- Not show floppies

- Warn users of SSD defrags

- Warn users of Flash Disk defrags (it does show my flash drive when plugged in)
