In researching another thread, I went into Optimise Drives (Windows 8) and discovered to my horror/annoyance that the internal defrag process has still been running.
In the 6 or so months I have had the new SSD as C:\ drive, I have reloaded Windows 8 twice (initially and about 2 weeks ago) and reloaded Defraggler (afresh compared to upgrading) about 3 times.
my first annoyance is with Windows as I thought it automatically turned off it's own defrag if a SSD was detected.
second annoyance is even with the Options, Advanced, Replace Windows Disk Defragmenter ticked, Defraggler also didn't turn off the Windows process.
SO, for those with a SSD, go into the Windows Defrag program and DOUBLE CHECK it has been turned off.
I wouldn't worry too much, it seems Win 8 knows what it is doing
in Windows 8, we have changed the defrag tool to do a general optimization tool that handles different kinds of storage, and in the case of SSD's it will send 'trim' hints for the entire volume;
All I'm saying is, with the option Replace Windows Disk Defragmenter ticked, I would have expected (with a rational amount of logic) that if you then go into Start, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter, it would NOT still show as being scheduled to run weekly.
Just a quick mention here, not intended to throw things off track, but anyone using Norton Anti Virus should be aware that one of the settings is 'idle time optimizer' This defrags. I mention this is case any Norton users are not aware of this.
