That's why running a defragmenter on an SSD is a big no-no. It not only doesn't actually defrag the files due to the wear leveling transparently randomizing the block writes, it accelerates the wear on the memory. Extra points to the UDOO board for its SATA port for a hard drive, eh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
