EV>Thanks Tom,


EV>Speaking about defraging drives, iirc starting back in the
EV>Windows 95 days and continuing to all the MS OS versions that I
EV>use, I remember watching the defrag pattern while it was running
EV>and saw it packing the files into 3 different sections on the
EV>drive, with a large blank space between the sections.

EV>At least that is what I think is still done.
EV>I haven't defragged any drive for quite some time.

EV>I have Norton Utilities v8 on the 486 box and I remember
EV>Speed disk uses every Cluster (Allocation Block) and leaves all
EV>of the blank space at the far end of the drive.

EV>I had to turn the 486 on and run speed disk on the 2 drives in it
EV>and sure enough that is what Nortons Speed disk does.

I als haven't defrages a drive isn a long tiem. Adn now that my bot
drives are SSD's I wil never do it again. the LIFE of an SSD is rated i
nthe number of re-writes to a memory location so doing it decreases the
life of hte Drive. And because of the random access time of an SSD it is
really not necessary. As an example my old WD Boot drive had an access
time of 15.7 MS and the Intel SSD that replaced it has an access time of
0.1 MS.
As a side note the WD had a Average Read of 105.2 MBs and the Intey is
363.7 MBs
And that in under Win XP which is NOT optimized for an SSD. Win 7 and 8
are and would have better faster reads I have been told.
