When was the last time you defragged your drives?

when was the last time you defragged your drives?

Around 15 years ago

When i still used windows

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

It doesnt defrag you dumb human, it TRIMs the ssd instead

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

0% fragmentation at any time

Based Win 10 does it for me.

2002

Same here. I have it automatically on.

a true MVP here

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

This

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.

false

Who knows. I let my OS handle it automatically.

>Not short stroking your hard drive so it'll be fast even if were to get fragmented.

>Optimization not available
>Some partition named Recovery that does nothing if I click Optimize button

Am I botnetted?

>when was the last time you defragged your drives?
When Windows 98 was the state of the art OS.

>2011+5
>using a fragmenting filesystem

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

>game has a well known bug
>complain about it on the game forums
>"defrag your HD breh'

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

never

win7 reports that my SSD is 21% fragmented

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

if windows says that then you better get on that

Actively: When I was still using Windows XP up until 2009.
Passively: Until I started using GNU/Linux exclusively last year.

look at this fucker trying to troll, you wont troll me you fucker

probably cause recovery partition has 2 or 3 files (just images of the drive for restoring), so doesnt need any defragging

Don't reply to that retard

But it says it needs optimization!

Its reporting the last time it ran, jesus fucking christ its maxium autism day

>SEND HELP

>Defrag

Defrag is automatic since windows Vista.

uh oh

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.

>every time you delete a file
It doesn't. But it is scheduled.

sudo fsck.ext2 -fn /dev/sdXY
where sdXY is your ext4 partition e.g. sda1

I defrag my SSD RAID 0 twice a day

2002

oh shit, on one of my own personal computers? not since 2005 when I migrated away from windows.

on the family computer, probably within the last four years.

>ubuntu_users.png

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

>he still defrags
poorfag detected

>shitposting

Wow, those HDDs must hate you.

I think you mean:

>shillposting

Do not run this on a mounted partition.

>solid state drive
>needs optimization

topkek

>Current year
>Defrag
>NTFS

2012 probably, I dunno lol

unsung MVP

I am defragging my SSD right now, making it fast again, stop asking

Yea,

>defragging my SSD
>SSD

What are you laughing you retard?
Enjoy your shitty slow SSD

bait. at least I hope its bait.
