[gui-talk] disk defragmentor

[Gregory D. Rosenberg]

Rob,

There is some truth to that, but there is no harm to perform a defrag on a physical hard disk. If you have a solid-state-disk (SSD) it is not a good idea to perform a defrag. Because there is no disk head movement on an SSD you don’t need to perform a defrag as everything is directly read on solid-state-drives. That is, there is no head movement like IDE (PATA), SATA, or SAS drives.

"The rapidly changing threat landscape today makes it almost impractical to secure our computers and networks against all vulnerabilities. Security organizations collectively are seeing nearly four new threats every second. Therefore, we must shift our security goals to making our computers and networks survive the invevitable attacks."

P.S. Text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
