How does it know the difference between a HDD and SSD anyway?

Well ok it was a generalisation and not 100% true. There must be something in the hardware ID that identtifies an SSD and if you install windows 7 on one it will disable auto-defrag and a few other things by default. If however you add an SSD to an existing machine with a running OS or clone windows from a HDD to an SSD then it pays to go and check the settings and disable it yourself if required.

3998

Never had to set that up, Win7 was clever enough to just *know* it's a SSD when I installed it, AFAIK based on a few things like TRIM.

And that is relevant?

1287828 2012-07-17 08:18:00 Well at only 15% free you are pushing the limit for a proper defrag.

Free up some more space and try again

1287829 2012-07-17 09:26:00 Yep 15% is too little. zqwerty (97)
1287830 2012-07-17 10:38:00 15% will do it but going under that will be problematic. The more free space the better though. mikebartnz (21)
