I have a 1TB HD in my Acer Swift.  When I try to run Defrag and Optimize Drive in Windows 10, it says that I have an SSD and "optimization not available", yet it shows the Last Run as being 2 weeks ago.  Should I use a 3rd party defrag program to try and defrag my HD?  How do I get this error corrected?  When I rt-click on my C drive and check Properties, it shows 930GB available.

    Good night victoria325 !

    What brand and model of your HD?
    Is it an SSD?
    If it is an SSD, defragmentation is not recommended on solid-state flash drives.

    Thanks for the response!
    According to Belarc Advisor, the HD is an Intel Optane+931GBHDD [Hard drive] -- drive 0, Not SMART
    It is not an SSD, yet when I go to Defrag, it shows as an SSD

    I haven't used CrystalDiskMark before, so I'm not sure what these numbers mean....

    Good Morning victoria325 !

    Sorry!
    I sent the wrong link.
    It should be the Disc Info:

    Does anyone have a suggestion of a 3rd party Defrag program that might get around this problem?  Because of the problem listed above, the Windows Defrag isn't working.
    Thanks in advance!
