System Information -> Storage -> Disks shows the model of the drive, which you can then look up on the Web via your preferred Web search engine (e.g., Google).

Re: [JAWS-Users] disk defragmenter
Hi Scorpio & Wayne, If I'm not mistaken, diskdefragmenter, is set to run on a schedule, by default in Windows 7 The problem is that when I checked the defragmenting schedule it was set to run real late at night, or real early in the morning on a weekly basis, & if you didn't leave your computer running all the time it wouldn't be defragmented. Since I defrag my computers regularly I turned off the scheduled defrag that Windows had set. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool.

Fact is, all you're doing is moving information around, and, if anything, Windows will have a jump on other applications because of the index it uses for the Start menu function and the file search. Either way, I believe the Windows 7 defrag utility is enough for your drive.

Re: [JAWS-Users] disk defragmenter
The Windows 10 defragmenter is very good. If you have an SSD, don't defrag, its totally unnecessary and will shorten the useful life of your SSD. If you insist on a different one, Defragler is good.

Re: [JAWS-Users] disk defragmenter
Hi, This is a function of Windows, and does not depend on the drive you have. Microsoft has finally figured out that drives lag with time, and has made the service automatic, rather than relying on the user to do it manually.
