Because of requests to follow up my SSD Tweaks videos with a way to keep the drives at peak performance, I've decided to make this video. Note: FreeSpaceCleaner is not to be used with HDDs. Links: Diskeeper Pro Premier 2010 with HyperFast (does cost $109 for a license) www.diskeeper.com FreeSpaceCleaner in Post #1 sig: www.ocztechnologyforum.com Link to Double Facepalm background: i133.photobucket.com I invite you to check out my newly created website, and subscribe to the forums!!! www.sirjamesd.com

upgrade your creative drivers, I have an xfi and never had any issues shutting down, you probably have buggy drivers.
Think about it, the best thing you could do to compensate for performance degradation on a non-raided single ssd would be to add more ssds and RAID them. All you would need after that is some maintenance software to consolidate free space. Only thing left is to wait for Windows and/or hardware vendor to come up with a way to do TRIM in RAID. Ya see, Free Space Cleaner writes to all free space including fresh cell areas; TRIM writes to the invalid files(deleted files) areas only.
Hey guy, if you had Windows 7 on a single fast ssd you wouldn’t have to worry about wearing your SSD’s down with all of that FF-ing you’re doing with that Free Space Cleaner cos Windows 7 trims down non-raided SSD’s whenever idle just fine. The “love” you’re giving your SSD’s is unnecessary overkill. You’re blazing fast SSD’s in raid. WOW!!! Any performance degradation at this point should be totally unnoticeable. Diskeeper with HyperFast is all you need. Impressive setup but dont kill your SSDs
@PetesBloodyHand Yes, but there is an overhead in Windows itself.
File system in Windows file address in so-called ‘extents’. If file is unfragmented, it usually occupies a single extent. Accessing the file will be easy: Windows will just read the location of file and access it.
Now if the file is fragmented, its address will be written in several extents. Windows will have to read and process all these extents in order to access a file. This intoduces latency and slows down file access.
After watching this I’m going to stick with an HDD raid set. More storage, less money and less maintenance.
I’ll invest in more RAM instead and boost caching.
What is TRIM?
@SirJamesDDJ i have a 256GB Samsung MLC SSD windows 7 can i do the samething here
dude u have a wall from san sebastian in spain, have u been at that place??? i have and is amazing!!!
You should mark in the title “For Beginners” , Anybody who is on their Second Computer should know most of this , It’s a good video for beginners , Otherwise…. and you are right, the 2nd Mad Max is the Best of the Series!!!!!…lol!
@SirJamesDDJ It doesn’t surprise me. Computer people are extremely arrogant snobs. I try not to ask questions anymore unless I REALLY have to.
I thought you didnt have to defrag a SSD because it can instantly access data no matter where it is on the drive because its flash memory.
It’s okay. They really are intelligent guys over there, and I learned a lot.
Just not the greatest community. Not like the amazing EVGA forum.
@SirJamesDDJ
Maybe those dicks should make their own video instead of criticizing others work.
@SiaSound They think I’m full of crap and don’t know my stuff.
Truth is all the advice I give is from that forum, and just put in video form.
Oh well, can’t be liked by everyone.
lol why dont they like you at the ocz forums?
@xDhjinnx I don’t think it’s available on any other disk than the SSD one
good video , one question , is better to have enabled hyper fast only in the Windows disk or all
5 stars for the Picard and Riker facepalm.
I did these thing with my Super Talent ultradrive (2x 60gb) ssd’s and I am not sure but I think that it dropped little bit from the original speed. I don’t know if that is even possible…?
Noobie to ssd, r these tweaks suitable to most ssd drive?
Nice vid like usual SirJ, thats also a nice wallpaper, can you pop up a link or upload it somewhere, cheers man
another great video, I’m kind of curious about the new raptors that are coming out soon, 64MB cache, 10,000 RPM & possible 6Gb/s, ” u have 21 days left to activate windows ” haha great work
@b0ss6769 Not exactly TRIM per say, but HyperFast keeps performance up. And since I can’t use SmartDefrag on these, it’s a great option. FW 1.5 is awesome, though too.
great video, 5/5 also could you give me the link to that background?
You can always expect great tutorials from SirJamesDDJ
