Extending the Life of the Z-Drive R4

Disable Defragmentation 

Defragmentation is a process typically meant for HDDs.  Since SSDs are based on flash technology, they 

must also be maintained differently.  SSDs, unlike traditional hard drives, do not gain performance 

improvements from defragmentation.  Defragmentation produces unnecessary writes to the drive, 

shortening the lifespan of the Z-Drive R4.  Please follow the instructions below to check and disable the 

Disk Defragmentation Scheduler in Windows 7 (Other versions of Windows should be similar).  

Note:  Defragmentation is unnecessary on the Z-Drive R4.

1.  The newest firmware tools for the Z-Drive R4 are available online at 

 http://www.oczenterprise.com/support.html. 

1.  Click on the Windows logo button, and type in “Disk Defragmenter”.  Click on “Disk Defragmenter” 

  (See Figure 1).

Download the Latest Firmware Update Tool (Optional)

NOTE:  The Z-Drive R4 box comes with a CD that includes the firmware update tools (Windows 
and Linux) for Z-Drive R4.  For the latest tool, user should download it from the OCZ website.
