Hello everyone,
I started the TRIM on my 8TB My Book HDD using the in-house WD software and since then the HDD has been at 100% capacity, at 60MB/s and is at 0% consolidation and pass 1….
Question 1) How long does something like this take?
Question 2) If I stop it, will something happen to my data? 7.3 TB are occupied, and that would be a real shame! 🙁

Loading...Hello, I need a program that can automatically synchronize a folder when it changes to a NAS server or external hard drive Thank you in advance I use Windows and the NAS runs on truenas
I plan to expand my PS4 storage externally using an SSD and have noticed that internal SSDs are cheaper than external ones. Can I put an internal SSD into a suitable case (i.e. a case specifically for internal SSDs that allows them to be connected externally) and then use it on my PS4 as if…
Hi, my problem is: I installed an M.2 SSD today and immediately after installation the PC doesn't do anything anymore. It turns on but I never see a picture, not even the BIOS. Once I somehow managed to get the BIOS to come up, but then when I wanted to start from there it didn't…
Hey ✨🙂! Somehow I'm making a mistake and Google isn't really helping… I want to record/burn/transfer music from my PC to an SD card. I don't currently have a card reader or any kind of opening on my PC where I can insert my SD card. Can anyone tell me which device I need –…
Hello dear IT experts, Since this morning, I've been having a problem with my 4-5 year old and fully used hard drive (Seagate Ironwolf 6TB), which is no longer recognized by Windows 10. It was working yesterday, and nothing has changed. Attempts to initialize it using Windows Disk Management always fail with the error message…
Let it go! Nothing should happen, but you never know…
Why did you want to run TRIM or What did you promise?
PS: The drive optimization is however a defragmentation and possibly some other additional (depending on disk, file system, …)! You don’t have to start this by hand because the defragmentation and CHKDSK are always active as system services in the background. So it should be done if necessary without doing your…
Hey, thanks for your answer. However, over 1h has brought exactly 1%, i.e. I would have to run my PC over 100h, that is definitely too long and so much power consumption. Nothing happened. He has filed a 64GB file under the order “System Volume…” (apparently cached) which I deleted with the iObit Unlocker. Everything worked:)
Moreover, the program you use is also right to question again. If you don’t deactivate Shadow Copies, you’ll get back to the folder.
That’ll take the day. I have to do regularly with beaten records the weeks need to be read.
Deleting something from System Volume is also not wise. There’s the Shadow Copies in there to fix any problems in the file system. In addition, the Shadow Copies allow to access previous versions of files which would be good if your action had followed.
Before you hung around such things, it would be wise to first read what exactly happens and how these mechanisms work. Otherwise you’ll shoot yourself sometime.
TRIM is something completely different, but you threw the fragmentation. TRIM is an ATA command that sends drivers when this is enabled for the disk or file system type…
Hey Mark, thank you again for the detailed explanation. I know I’ve taken a risk, but that’s what really pissed me off:(and the 64GB seemed very strange to me because it was about the time he probably “defragmented” in the 1h. On the 8TB HDD, there are no shadow copies (file versions) enabled, as I only use them as backup disk. Yes several days at 8TB has already been logical, but thought TRIM would be different than defragmentation and goes more fixed. No matter what’s learned again 🙂
PS: How can I deactivate these Shadow Copies from the HDD or is this shadow copy meant?
So I find under TRIM only one command to release useless data blocks from an SSD so that they can be written faster later.
I’m not sure what’s happening in a HDD.
However, the drive optimization is likely to come close to the classic defragmentation, in which the data, i.e. not the files, but bits, are also pushed so that free blocks can be written more quickly and reliably.
This can take a few hours to days depending on the performance of the plate. You can stop it without any problems. Your data is not lost.
More modern SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) HDDs have a 2nd level translator that can also handle TRIM and with the HDDs, TRIM also makes sense. Basically something similar happens to an SSD.
