[QUOTE="Winter Soldier, post: 666059, member: 59377"] I will explain to you if I was not clear. 1. No defragmentation Of course, and indeed as I said, in the case of SSD, defragmentation is a damaging operation. During the defragmentation lots of writing operations have carried out and after defragmentation, you will not get any benefit as it happens in the traditional HDD. 2. Do not perform the "secure erase" of the data [U]The special TRIM command allows the operating system to indicate those data blocks are not in use on a SSD: for example the areas released after the deletion of one or more files. All the most recent operating systems support the TRIM command. On operating systems that support the TRIM command, the data is deleted instantly and permanently by the SSD disks as soon as they are removed from the user.[/U] Respectfully, I invite you to read serious technical documents.
