[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1723608, member: 83420"] A few tips: In everyday use, defragmenting the HDD is rarely needed. [U]Never[/U] attempt to defrag a SSD. This will wear it out, possibly damage it. SSDs store & manipulate data differently from spinning/plater drives. Neither DU nor OnyX can defrag a HDD. If a very heavy user and/or manipulator of very large files & chunks of data, defrag might well help. In which case you need a dedicated app. I've never need to defrag, but Forum members here often recommend iDefrag, a pay-for app. Hope these comments help. Ian [/QUOTE]
