Brand name SSDs, have very long lifespans. In theory, a good quality SSD will last longer than a hard drive.
SSDs degrade with time, they're terrible for things you want more for "storage" purposes that don't need the "speed", archives and ISOs for example. Also, this thread is about UltimateDefrag, so keep the topic about the software.
Yup. I got HDDs from the 80's that are still fully functional and have retained their data nicely through the decades. I can't imagine QLC or TLC holding up that well. Especially stuff that has some mileage on it to begin with. Back to UD now. I'm upset that they removed the "left click" option to highlight a file. This in the the cluster viewer list/column. I used to use it all the time when working with large media files.
It would've been nice if they hadn't removed the "Highlight this file" from the left-click options when clicking on a filename in the cluster viewer.
Indeed UD6 in some sparingly use on my spindle drives is realizing for mine enhanced performance in comparison to all others I used over the years. When Isso first introduced this defragger, the eye candy graphical interface was something of an attraction feature which proved out to be reasonably accurate in identifying files, blocks and such with remarkable agility and accuracy if one is so inclined to such observations. As previously mentioned and over time the product seemed to been left to gather dust but recently I picked back up on digging into it again and find the newest release far better improved with no fluff except maybe for a few certain advertised plugs of very high percentage rates which obviously vary depending on hardware/machine/load etc. Has anyone else tugged at this latest version 6 and if so can offer your own assessments you find favorable over the opposite end of that measure. Thanks, and Thanks DiskTrix!.
The high percentage rates can be true to the number IF you compare a badly organized & fragmented disk against a freshly optimized one.
The optimized performance increase after fine tuning your preferred placements with UD is always a welcome change from the ordinary. There's power user defraggers then there's this one.
