The process of organizing data, effective when working with hard drives, is not appropriate for solid-state drives. As part of today's article, we will tell you how to disable SSD defragmentation in Windows 7.
Turn off the defragmentation of solid-state disks
A mentioned event is applicable solely when storing data on HDD, which is due to the constructive features of such drives. Working with data on hard drives is performed by moving the head, which reads or, on the contrary, writes information. The recording process can be uneven, that is, several files of one structure or a part of a single file, if it is quite quoted, can be recorded on different clusters of the drive. This forces the disc frequently move the head, leading to it by different sectors when reading, which, in turn, creates a tangible delay in the output of information. In order to level the need to mechanically move the head, a defragmentation was invented, which restructures the data by placing them to one cluster or as close as possible to each other in physical terms. But the solid-state disks do not need defragmentation, since they do not have mechanical parts, and the interaction with the data goes without intermediaries equally filling the "equidistant" memory cells from each other.
