[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 913500, member: 19756"] I read somewhere that features for drive monitoring will be made available in Win 10 in the future. Meanwhile, I decided to just use Open Hardware Monitor to add temperature numbers for the CPU and GPU in the system tray, and CrystalDiskInfo to check drives and just make a sound if temperature or health conditions exceed a given threshold. For defrag, I tried all sorts, and results are mixed: they would speed up systems, and then cause them to slow down weeks later. The same happened to Windows defrag. Given that, I decided to just do things conservatively: use the built-in defrag with default settings scheduled (weekly trim of SSD and defrag of all other drives), and then just run the free or giveaway version of a fast third-party defrag (that follows any prefetch layout and copies the built-in defrag algorithm) manually if things don't improve.
