SSD and HD [Recognition problem is solved by Smart Defrag 2.8.0.1210]

[trami]

Software SmartDefrag 2.6

 

I replaced my C Drive with an SSD and now Smart Defrag will not work properly.

I Have one HD in D.

 

Smart Defrag show all disk as SSD and so i can't switch on D Disk to auto defrag.

Hi trami

The default setting in SD is that it does not defrag Solid State Disks.

Take a look in the settings!

My advice is to refrain from doing it too, it will give you a shorter lifespan of the SSD and it wont matter at-all/much speed-wise.

You ought to be able to use SD on your D:\drive - Have you tried a full chkdsk?

Cheers

You definitely do not want to defrag SSDs:

- The possible performance increase is technical but not perceptible (may have to read more than one block for your file but at SSD speeds, you won't notice)

- SSDs have a limited number of write cycles and defragmenting will use hoops of those

 

(Dev notice): My SSD shows up in SD and can be manipulated the same as an HDD but that may be because it is in an Intel RAID configuration for SRT caching.

Im gonna revive this because I am having the exact same problem, you have misread his problem being that he is trying to defrag his SSD which is not the case. For some reason SD is occasionally wrongly reporting a non SSD drive as an SSD preventing any defragmentation from taking place.

The first drive is an SSD, the second drive are two optical hard disks in a RAID-0 config which previously defragged without issue. Only recent changes to my computer were updating my MBs drivers. I have attempted to reinstall SD 2.7 but it didnt help the issue.

Disks identified incorrectly as SSD by Smart Defrag

 

I have an SDD for my system disk and a Intel RAID 1 volume with 3 partitions on it ( D, E and F Drive). Smart Defrag incorrectly identifies it as SSD (see screenshot). Uninstalling & reinstalling as not changed that behavior.

Smart Defrag 2.0.8.1211 problem not solved

 

Hi,

 

The last version still do not recognizes my HD's correctly: all are stamped as SSD while only my system disk is an SSD

 

I attach the file "result.txt" showing clearly this fact.

 

A an additional info, here my configuration

 

System disk: INTEL SSDSC2CT240A4 SCSI Disk Device (SSD)

additional HD's: Seagate ST1000DM ST1000DM003-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA) and Seagate ST2000DM ST2000DM001-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

 

For this time I cannot use Smart Defrag as this program considering all my HD's as SSD's.

 

I use french language.

 

Hoping this issue will be definitively solved in a coming version.

 

Regards from France

Hi everyone....

Reading again the posts of this topic, I found out the medical bag :grin::grin:

I missed applying the procedure mentioned by Cicely in his post of June 24th.

The right clic on each concerned HD allows now the defrag operation of them.

 

My first message is therefore obsolete.

 

As we say in France: "do not confuse speed with haste" :lol::lol::lol::lol:

This applies especially to me in this opportunity.

Hi flyman,

 

Thanks for your feedback. Your post will lead to others to use the new function of SD to recognize SSD as HDD or recognize HDD as SSD manually. :-D

 

If your guys have any other confusions, please feel free to tell us.

 

Bottoms up. :wink:
