Defrag Blocked

That's a seriously nice SSD for your laptop! 24 hours seems like a long time to defrag, especially since you did it once a week......how many disks total was that?

Thanks. I referring to the disk on my desktop; it has a little over 1TB on it. It also gets a lot of activity.

I used to use Defraggler with XP, but it seems to foul up w7, it needs files where it expects them to be. Puran Free works well and it can do a boot-time defrag.

I was wondering if Defraggler might be the reason why it took so long to defrag. I'll find out in a couple of weeks or so.

Is it basically bulk files, like music, video's, pictures, etc?...

Yes.

I just had a thought strike me. Actually, it was more like it whomped me upside the head. Now that I'm back off the floor and my eyes are no longer crossed... I have no idea why I was worried about automatic defragging on my notebook after I install the SSD. There will be only one drive—the SSD—so there aren't going to be any spinners in the machine. It won't matter if I don't do a clean install. All I have to do is disable defrag. Duh!

I'm surprised one of you all didn't pickup on that blooper.
