HDD and SSD Issues

Drives showing different amount of free disk space
I have two external HD of exactly the same size, 3.63 TB, they both hace exactly the same amount of data stored on them both, 1.84 TB, 2240 files, 61 folders. My issue is that the "free space" shows a difference amount, 1.50 TB verse 1.55 TB. I have ensured that recycle bin on them both are empty and ran every program that would make sense with the confines of BoostSpeed 13 and nothing seems to make any difference. This isn't the only example of this sort of thing happening. I'm bewildered. Please advise.
By the way, I wasn't sure what to pick above for "Device" so I randomly picked something.
Special algorithm for SSD optimization
Does this type of defrag keep the SSD from degrading over time? Can you explain this process in more detail? Thank You, Craig Stone in California

To TRIM or to Defrag? Or Both!!??
I have two WD 3.6Tb external USB3 drives for backups and storage. These are both deffo HDD! I have discovered that they are TRIM enabled ... BUT, you don't trim HD's, do you??? I have had had trouble with them in the past due to increasing slowness and defragmentation. Sometimes Defrag Ultimate just couldn't finish a HDD defrag or gave up and stood still, but didn't crash either! Defrag Ultimate treats them as HDD's, but I am wondering if actually SSD Trimming them and then HDD Defragging them might solve or reduce my problems. But, I don't want to try this if I am going to damage them. So how should I treat them generally and within Defrag Ultimate

Defrag or No?
Hi
Cool software and company. Thanks for your time.
Someone mentioned I should use this, but also said, in accordance with info online, that "defragging" an onboard SSD will cause issues. I'm directly confused by this and would appreciate some guidance on what is correct here.
Thanks again.

подключение устройства
При подключении ASMT USB 3.0 Destop H SCSI Disk Device система то видит его, то нет: предлагает отформатировать или обновить драйвер (обновила драйвер тома файловой системы WPD). Как сделать этот диск рабочим не отключая его от ПК (каждый раз монтировать и размонтировать...)?

Lost partition
My SSD took several days to recover, via an automated Microsoft Windows process.
My disk had a C: drive, for OS and D: drive for my files, photo's etc. While the c: drive was recovered, the d: drive has disappeared. How can I recover the D: drive, please?

external hard drive recovery
so i have ran check disk a few times on a external hard drive to see if i can possibly repair the thing and if not recover some things that are still on it. windows does not recognize the drive but 3rd party software does, so as i'm running check disk it sees one bad sector like at somewhat of the begging of the scan then it continues and runs almost to the end of the scan but does'nt qiute finish the scan, instead it suddenly stops, the screen goes black for a second and then it reboots windows and thats it. no log of what happened at the time of crash or the condition of the drive or the end result...nothing. so i'm wondering if you can shed some light on the situation and maybe some remedies if any? thanks, cweklund

Computer is Slow
Why is my computer so slow,,,,,,,I realize my computer is 7 years old but is there anything I can do to speed it up.
POSSIBLE CONTRADICTION
I'm evaluation BoostSpeed and one of the ways that it will save me 3Gb of disk space is to do a Disk Defrag. My hard drive is an SSD and I thought that defragging an SSD was not advised by several well known industry experts. Please explain - Thank you!
