Extending the Life of the Z-Drive R4

Disable Defragmentation

Solid state disks do not require defragmentation, as it is a process typically meant for HDDs; unlike

traditional hard drives, SSDs do not gain performance improvements from defragmentation but instead

it produces unnecessary writes to the drive, shortening the lifespan of the Z-Drive R4. Since SSDs are

based on ash technology, they must also be maintained dierently. 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.

Certications

OCZ Enterprise Z-Drive R4 PCI Express (PCIe) SSD series works with industry leading hypervisor solutions

including VMware (ESX) and Microsoft (Hyper V). In addition, Z-Drive R4 has gone through a detailed

validation process with VMware, meeting their specic integration and interoperability standards to

achieveVMware Ready™ status.

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

(See Figure 1).
