Never.
Workstation and laptops all run on SSD, for which defragmentation is completely pointless and only reduces life expectancy of the SSD. My storage server runs ZFS, for which defragmentation is a completely foreign concept. MacOS does not need it, neither does Linux with its ext3/4 filesystems. In short: defragmentation is pretty much only needed for FAT and NTFS file systems using spindle drives (HDD). When I had these, I defragmented when the tool recommended doing so after analysis |

SSDs should not be defragged - it's pointless - but the TRIM command is certainly handy for ensuring optimal performance.
To find out whether the TRIM command is enabled, enter the following in a command prompt: fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 means that the TRIM feature is enabled. NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 1 means that it is disabled. To enable, use an elevated command prompt and enter fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0

If you have an SSD then never, because they don't work the same way,. In that case you will be 'trimming'. As for how frequently, it depends a bit on what you, what kind of files you have and also how slow your cpu and drive are. The slower the drive and CPU, and the less RAM you have, the more effect fragmentation has on performance. So the guidelines are just that - guidelines. try experimenting by defragging at different percentages and seeing if it makes a difference you can notice. I used ot degrag at 2% because with my set-up, it made a difference. Especially if you choose your defrag settings, put large files ta the end of the drive and so on. I also make the swap file a fixed size and put it in the centre of the disk (you may have to fiddle about a bit to achieve that). That way, the system is not constantly re-sizing the swap file, so you gain a little performance. I turn off indexing and I clean up junk before defragging (inclusing system junk like installation files for windows updates - try CCleaner, it is free and quite safe, unlike many, and use the windows tools clean-up tool. With faster machines, fragmentation isprobably not anb issue below something like 5-8%

Defragmenting is personal choice, I can defrag 5 or 6 times a day, if it needs it or not.. But by keeping your files compacted, it can reduce the time taken to defrag after downloading large updates..

I'm defragging my laptop now because it started to seem slow opening folders. After a day and a half it says it's on pass 5. Anyone know how many passes it takes on Windows 7 ? It's a 2 terabyte hard drive, about 190 gigs free.

9 or 10 times was what i recall on W7
The issue might be something else How to Fix Slow Loading Folders in Windows 7 ByAustinLast Updated on July 14, 2019 The mystery started about 6 months after I bought my new machine. My new Windows 7 PC started slowing down when loading folders that had a few hundred downloads in them. At first, I figured it was just a fragmentation HD issue or perhaps my Anti-Virus was going wacky on me. Unfortunately after trying all these basics, I was stumped 2 step solution https://www.groovypost.com/howto/how...save%20changes. comment from user The infuriating green progress bar is now confined to history. Not sure of the actual “science” behind this fix but it has fixed my laptop to a tee. I've had a similar experience on W8 The thing that started it - changing - view - sort by / group by - date/size/etc |
