I have both an SSD and HDD in my computer and windows defrags them both weekly which seems fine. But I seem to remember reading that SSDs aren't supposed to be defragged?
Connor Ortiz
What version of windows are you running, and how do you know the SSD is being defragged?
Jaxson Anderson
windows doesn't defrag ssd's, it "optimizes" them, which is actually just TRIM
TRIM is completely different to defragging, it doesn't apply to hdd's, and is a good thing to run every so often
if you care to know what it's for... when you write something to an SSD, first it must erase the current contents of what you're writing to, if it's not already, you can't directly overwrite a block like on a hdd, so to save time, what TRIM does is it goes and erases any blocks that have "deleted" data on them ahead of time, so when you want to use them again, you don't need to wait for them to be erased at that time
tl;dr, makes write faster, doesn't cause wear you wouldn't do otherwise (safe)

There are two reasons to defragment your hard drive:
1) Your file system may be designed in a way where file headers/table entries are finite, meaning that larger chunks of sequential blocks are preferred over fragmented blocks. NTFS or whatever Windows uses these days is among these.
2) Accessing sequential blocks usually increase read/write performance compared to more random access.
Depending on your SSD, 2) may not be so relevant any more, but 1) definitively is. Many SSDs are complete shit though, performance wise, and disks such as Samsung Evo 960 etc use large RAM buffers that predict sequential access of the disk. That's a reason for 2).
Xavier Morgan
Windows does scheduled optimization of SSDs outside of both TRIM and defrag that covers shit like that.

I need some help with windows server.
I'm a temporary sysadmin in a shitty highschool, all of the teachers got new laptops, but the new laptops can't connect to the network because it needs some sort of certificate, this way they can't open their own drives.
Their old laptops still has access to the server's drives when they're connected to that network (no network login required).
Where do I get that certificate from, or how do I fix this shit? I really don't like windows.
I can't find it in the cert manager. Will that certificate make them access the drives, or there's something else to do?
Thanks in advance anons

How do I get this cool guy to display from a 1070ti? Running win 10, I have a bunch of adapters but can only get it to flicker on/off.
