Kalju Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Very good. I know one person, who tried to print out the entire Google Search. Well just in case,... if electricity goes out or for those who don't have internet ... Then it is good to take and read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp68terr Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Quote free software to optimize your SSD The OS is likely taking care of that, but, in case, which one would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 @mp68terr Absolutely correct. Any SSD uses its own producer software and there is never needed for nothing else, absolutely never. If You don't believe, think how do you optimize the microcircuits and transistors inside your TV, radio, etc.and then think what is owerdays SSD drive. If don't know, it's also only one or couple more microcircuits, that's all. For example my 256GB SSD is only 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm and and thinner than 2.5 mm. There is nothing to optimize.

But most probably not have any RAM cache inside and only bad QLC... Already born to die fast. And without good tools you can also never know it before.

Depends which SSD you really use and also how much!! And for sure it's not only 2.5cm x 2.5cm small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragdd Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 In the past, these tools were very handy because Windows XP and Vista didn't support trim function. So you had to manually trim the SSD and overprovision to keep the SSD fast. Now there handy to see the health of your SSD or to manually start the trim funtion if you feel the SSD is slower then originally. And also to see if there is a firmware update and install the new firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
