Defrag or not

I recently installed this Seagate ST500LM000 Laptop Thin SSHD into a laptop and am wondering if I should shut off the defrag as it is apparently part SSD.

Anyone got any answers for this please??

Not sure. You would not want to defrag the SSD, of course, but you might want to defrag the HDD. I would definitely turn off automatic defragging.

What does the drive look like in Disk Management? Is the SSD portion shown as a separate disk or partition?

If not, then it might be best to not defrag at all.
Good question though

I have had the same question sense those types of drives came out and never did find the answer.

What does it look like in Disk Management?

Ok I will have a look later and post the screen shot as I have to get it set up with her wifi adaptor later. Bit of a conundrum eh?

Disk Management might show us how Windows 7 see the ssd part of the hard drive. Maybe it has turned off the difrag on the ssd part.

You could also look in the Windows 7 defrag programs and see if the ssd part of the hard drive is listed separately.

Ok mate have to go out shortly but will do when I get back.

No hurry. The forum we be here when you get back.
We will leave the light on.

Hope I haven't keep you up too late and hope the pic comes through as I had to take a photo.

PS meant to add looks like any other drive really.

Sure does look the same.
Look in Windows defrag and see if it isolates the ssd from the rest of the hard drive.

Don't know Jack this is all I see. I have just set the defrag for 1am in a months time depending on what I can find out on the meantime about this issue.
