    " Defragment and Optimise Drives "


    Hi,

    First of all, I would like to describe the laptop that I have. I have an 128gb SSD which holds the OS on it and a 1 terabyte HDD which I use for all my programs, documents, music, videos etc etc, both came with the laptop. Now I know its safe and normal to defrag a HDD which I do probably 1 every 2 to 3 months but for the solid state drive I don't know what to do. When you search for defrag, the defrag and optimise box appears and shows both of my drives. For the SSD it won't give me the option to " analyse " but it does give me the option to " optimise ". Now does optimise mean defragmentation or does it actually mean optimise because those 2 words mean completely different things when were talking about HDD and SSD's.

    Does optimisation mean defragmentation under the " defragment and optimise drives " ?


    ( Side note, I am perfectly aware defragging a SSD is very bad due to its finite number of write cycles, there is also a lot of discussion online about not defragging an SSD because it doesn't need it ).

    :)

    Defragment and Optimise drives

    I started up the Defragment and Optimise drives utility yesterday and I noticed that both my D: drive and Z: drive were not present there. Both these drives happen to be partitions on the same disk. All other drives (including removable drives) were visible.
    I tried running chkdsk with /r parameter and it returned no errors/bad sectors. How should I solve this issue?
