when was the last time you defragged your drives?
>>
>>55372362
Around 15 years ago

When i still used windows
>>
>>55372362
Never but I have deFaged my hard drives by using DBAN to erase evidence of my brothers gay porn addiction.
>>
>he defraged his SSD
lol

i haven't defraged in over 5 years and my HDDs are only at 7% or less
>>
DON'T DEFRAG YOUR SSD RETARD

>>55372454
>>55372445
It doesnt defrag you dumb human, it TRIMs the ssd instead
>>
>>55372362
Earlier today

Last time I used a drive with magnetic tea dishes and stirring spoons

Why you aren't using SSD in this, God's year of 2017FY is beyond me

What's "defragged" and why should I use it?

This

>>55373672
Because drives get fragged so the bits and pieces are spread and shit so it's slower, when you defrag it puts everything in order and makes it faster.

>>55375909
false

>>55372362
Who knows. I let my OS handle it automatically.

Why the fuck are you running trim manually? Trim goes off automatically when you delete a file.
>>

Holy shit Windows 10 finally has the feature Mac has since like 2001?
Wow MS caught up after 15 years. That's amazing /s

>>55375909
not him but its true

a fragmented drive has files/data/bits in non-contiguous places - i.e some bits of a file are in one place, other bits in another place. So you get slower read times.

when you defrag you reorganise so that all bits for a file are next to each other.

Look it up on wiki if you dont believe me you mong

What happens if you "optimize" a raid off ssds?

>>55376767
probably cause recovery partition has 2 or 3 files (just images of the drive for restoring), so doesnt need any defragging
>>
>>55377123
Don't reply to that retard

But it says it needs optimization!

Windows Fragmentation: Let’s say you save a number of different files to your file system. Each of these files will be stored in a contiguous cluster of sectors. Later, you update one of the files you originally saved, increasing the file’s size. The file system will attempt to store the new parts of the file right next to the original parts. Unfortunately, if there’s not enough uninterrupted room, the file must be split into multiple pieces – this all happens transparently to you. When your hard disk reads the file, its heads must skip around between different physical locations on the hard drive to read each chunk of sectors — this slows things down.


Linux’s ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems allocate files in a more intelligent way. Instead of placing multiple files near each other on the hard disk, Linux file systems scatter different files all over the disk, leaving a large amount of free space between them. When a file is edited and needs to grow, there’s usually plenty of free space for the file to grow into. If fragmentation does occur, the file system will attempt to move the files around to reduce fragmentation in normal use, without the need for a defragmentation utility.

A month ago or so I defragged my UMPC's HDD, other than that it's been about 8 years since I used a filesystem so shit that that had to be done.

It doesn't. But it is scheduled.
