The program can also adjust Windows settings to match a specific. This means that data that is distributed across different sectors, doesn't take any longer than any other sectors. Auslogics BoostSpeed is a software application presented as a bundle of software utilities intended to speed up, optimise and clean the user's computer, fix registry errors, improve Internet performance, remove unneeded files and entries, and defragment the disks and the registry. SSD's don't have this varying seek time across different areas of the disk, as there are no moving parts.

Data that resides in different sectors of the disk (ie fragmented), then takes more and more time to read. The more the data is used, the more fragmentation occurs.įragmentation is the process of collecting data that should be together, and saving it to the same part of the disk.įragmentation is a performance issue on Spinning Disks, as the 'first' part of the disk is faster to access than the 'last' part of the disk, because the device that actually does the reading has to move across the disk surface, which takes time. Over time, data gets moved around and jumbled up. 'Defragmenting' SSDs in the 'normal' way actually causes more wear on the sectors, and thus will cause premature failure of the disk, and give you no performance boost.įragmentation is where data on the disk is saved in different areas (called sectors) on the disk. If the software has an SSD setting, use that.

SSD's should not be fragmented in the 'normal' ways, as they do not have the same characteristics as Spinning Disk drives.
