Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) in Win-7
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF).
Is EWF (or something like it) available in Win-7 ?
According to a post I have just read ... in Win-XP EWF can increase the life of drives. (HDDs ?)
My browser/email laptop is used extensively all day. I use an external USB HD ...
1. make my data portable (backed up onto another HD each day)
2. Hopefully to extend the life of the laptops HD.
As I understand it files are not immediately written/rewritten until a certain criteria is reached.
Somewhere I also read EWF can be risky ... like lost data !
My rigs are all multiple HDs, but the laptop has the default single HD
Any constructive comments would be appreciated :)
