Solid State Drives cannot be defragmented.

There is no need to defrag an SSD Drive.

Troubleshooting

BIOS error message during installation

When downloading the proper BIOS firmware updater for your Razer Blade laptops, you may run into the following issue when installing: “This firmware tool is for use only with Blade and compatible systems. This application will now close.”

BIOS error message

The issue is related to the product code of some devices, found in the BIOS. The firmware is correct but may not install because the product code embedded in the BIOS does not match the firmware updater. This is because the firmware houses a list of applicable product codes so that it knows which units to allow itself to install on. If the product code in the BIOS of the laptop does not match that of the updater’s list of approved devices, it will return an error to the user.
