joe90 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hello I've just cloned a HDD to a 480gb Sandisk SSD and replaced the said HDD in my windows 7 ultimate Dell PC. Defraggler worked perfectly on the HDD but now BSOD on the SSD. I've uninstalled and re-installed but this just freezes the system. Otherwise the system is working well. I've installed a Samsung SSD on a different PC. and defraggler works well with that system. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted March 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2016 first up, there is absolutely no performance gain in running a defrag process on a SSD. in fact, the wear levelling mechanics in the firmware of the SSD should actually make sure all cells are equally written to, so in fact, SSD's tend to have high fragmentation. we shouldn't even think of it as 'fragmentation', that's just a left-over terminology of the HDD era. TRIM is all a SSD needs. but as to your BSOD, does the second line of the BSOD give an error message/number? or at the bottom of the BSOD, is a filename mentioned? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

joe90 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello mta, thank you for your reply. I understand that indeed there is no point in defragmenting an SSD drive but defraggler also has an Optimise function for SSDs - so that is useful. Also I use the SSD as my C:Drive which contains the OS and application/program files. I keep all my Data on a separate HDD so that is why I want to use defraggler. Regarding the BSOD issue - as I said in my original post since re-installing defraggler I don't get the BSOD BUT the system freezes and I have to use the big off button.
