Hi,
It's safe to turn it back on; win 7 should defrag the hdd but leave
the ssd alone, assuming that the SSD supports the TRIM command which
it should / will do if it's under 4 or so years old.
NB: the trim command doesn't disable defragmentation automatically,
but win 7 checks each installed drive to see if it supports the trim
command and if it does, it assumes it's an ssd and it doesn't
defragment it.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hello,
I'm running windows 7 on an ssd, that's the primary drive in this machine. I have read on various sites that having the windows defrag service on for an ssd is unnecessary so I disabled it. The problem is I've got two other drives in the box, hdd drives, and I'm wanting to defrag them. THis isn't happening with the service disabled.
Is anyone else dealing with this?
Thanks. Dave.
