Defragging Data Drives

Mike B <mb69mach1@...> #20544 Hi All, Is it good practice to defrag your data drives from time to time? Thanks much. Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time! If you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S". That spells THEIRS!

Jim Wohlgamuth #20545 Hi there! I defrag all my drives, I have it set up to defrag on a weekly basis. I suspect though that unless you are placing and removing a large amount of data onto this drive that it isn't all that crucial. I might be wrong, and if so someone will correct me. I do believe however, that if you are using a solid state drive, that takes some other defrag utility. Hope this helps! Good Luck & Have A Good Day! de <KF8LT><Jim>.

Sylvia <sylvia0647@...> #20547 Hi Mike, can you explain what you mean by data drives. If you mean externals, I have read that you don’t need to defrag them that often. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text From: Mike B.

Matt #20550 Hi, I do defrag my data drive but not that often maybe once every year . But It might need to be done more often if you are deleting things from it very often and you are changing things on it fairly often. It don’t hurt to defrag it . It is no different than defragging any other drive. Now if it is a SSD that is different. So if it is not a SSD then I would say it would be ok to defrag once a week if it needed it.

Carlos #20556 Solid state drives should not be defragmented at all. Trim is the equivalent of defragmentation for solid state drives and it is usually enabled by default when such a drive is detected. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Wohlgamuth To: main@TechTalk.groups.io Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2016 5:40 PM Subject: Re: [TechTalk] Defragging Data Drives Hi there!

Mike B <mb69mach1@...> #20567 Hi Sylvia, External drives that I use to store music , books, notes, sound files, documents, etc... Basically I store pretty much everything that isn't necessary to have on the operating system drive on external drives / partitions. This way if I have an operating system crash I won't lose any saved crap, so to speak. LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time!

Mike B <mb69mach1@...> #20569 Hi Carlos, I'll be getting a system pretty soon that will be running a solid state drive for the operating system. Would you please explain the, Trim, feature you mentioned, & how it works? I'm trying to get as much info as I can on SSD maintenance so I don't screw anything up by accident or otherwise!

Carlos #20570 Hi Mike, Every couple of months or so should be fine. I often get lazy and don't do it myself for much longer periods of time. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike B.
