With hard drives the rule is always "Don't fix what isn't broken" If a SMART monitoring tool such as Crystal Disk finds damaged sectors, THEN run chkdsk. Also if you defrag an SSD it will reduce the lifespan of the drive.Īlso just don't forget to run Chkdsk every now and again. Due to the way an SSD works, it spreads the data all over the drive as there is no read/write head that needs to physically move to different parts of the drive, you won't see any speed benefits from defragging an SSD. Also just don't forget to run Chkdsk every now and again.Īlso you don't need to defrag an SSD. If you think that your Hard Drive is not working, you can use HD Sentinel, or HDTune Pros trial(I recommend the latter) and you can find out if there is problems with your drive. If you're using Windows 7 and up, the operating system automatically defrags on the fly in the background, so long as you don't have the disk defragmenter replaced/disabled(as defraggler does by default). I Run Windows 8.1, I have a 120GB SSD (boot), 1TB Western Digital Black for Games/Software, 1TB extra drive just for recording game footage with Shadowplay. Obviously, when I used to defrag on my other hard drives, I'd get faster speeds but they would reduce after a day or two, and the benefit was just gone.ĭo you recommend defragmenting? If so, how often and with with program.
Now, I've used O&O Defrag, Diskeeper, and the default Windows one before.īut, one thing I found is my preformance on my WD Black, has been around 160mb/s, and I haven't defrag'd since I got it (around 4/5 months ago) As you read the title mates, should I defragment?
