Hello Guys,
For those of you with a SSD boot drive do you leave defrag switched on or do you disable it. I have a Samsung 840pro and the documentation that came with the drive says that Defrag has to be disabled via their Magician software but on various posts around the internet some people are saying that it should be left on with Windows 8 as Windows 8 detects the drive as being a SSD drive and instead of defragging it it does some maintenence on the drive such as trim and garbage collection.
I have emailed Samsung about it and will post their replay when I get it.
Thanks
Tony

- I did a fresh format and install of Windows 8 64 Bit Pro. Sorry but I couldn't live without a start button so I have installed the Start8 start menu which is great. I try sometimes not to use it but find metro frustrating to find programs as I have many. I will use Metro for apps only and desktop of serious computing.
