SSD “booster/optimizer” utilities like this can’t be judged as safe or malicious from a description alone, and I wouldn’t assume it’s safe just because it’s an “SSD tool”. That said, Windows already includes SSD-aware maintenance (TRIM/Optimize), so third-party “tweakers” are often unnecessary and sometimes counterproductive.

Key technical concern: “Defrag for SSD”
Defragmentation is generally not recommended for SSDs because it creates unnecessary writes and usually provides no benefit (SSD access time doesn’t depend on file contiguity the way HDDs do). For normal SSD maintenance, you want TRIM/Optimize, not classic defrag. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defragment-optimize-your-data-drives-in-windows-54d4fed1-c96e-46db-b843-8c6b34bd27a4?utm_source=openai))

What the vendor page claims (and what that means)
The download page lists features including “Analyze, TRIM and Defrag for SSD/SCM/HDD/VHD” and also claims “All files are code signed”. Code signing is a good integrity signal (helps detect tampering), but it is not a guarantee the program is risk-free or that its tweaks are beneficial on your specific system. ([omidsoft.com](https://www.omidsoft.com/download-ssd.html))

Safer approach (recommended)
If your goal is “keep SSD healthy / performant”, the lowest-risk path is:

• Use Windows “Defragment and Optimize Drives” (it performs SSD optimization/TRIM as needed).
• Keep firmware/drivers updated using your SSD manufacturer’s official tool/support pages.
• Keep reasonable free space (many SSDs behave better with headroom).

Windows’ built-in optimization is designed for SSDs and is typically all most users need. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defragment-optimize-your-data-drives-in-windows-54d4fed1-c96e-46db-b843-8c6b34bd27a4?utm_source=openai))

If you still want to try SSD Booster anyway
Do it in a way that’s reversible and verifiable:

• Download only from the vendor’s official page (the one you linked) and verify the digital signature on the EXE (Properties -> Digital Signatures). If it’s unsigned, stop.
• Upload the exact installer/portable EXE to VirusTotal and review results (expect occasional false positives; don’t rely on one engine).
• Create a restore point / full backup first (SSD “tweaks” often change services, scheduled tasks, registry settings, hibernation/pagefile/System Restore, etc.).
• Avoid any option that performs traditional “defrag” on an SSD unless the tool clearly documents it is doing an SSD-safe operation (many tools misuse the word “defrag”).
• Test on a non-critical machine or VM if possible.

Bottom line
You don’t need a third-party “SSD booster” for normal Windows 10/11 systems, and any tool advertising “defrag for SSD” deserves extra scrutiny. If you use it, treat it as a system-tweaker: verify signature, scan the file, and make changes reversible.

Updated yesterday without issue, I've used this program for over a year, I don't use it for defrag & looking it only optimises within the realms of safe SSD settings anyway, recommended, the program only sets things as I would do anyway, & always have done with a SSD that Windows still don't do but ought to, I think ... (the bot is wrong & ought to use the app before typing)

wow good to know, I have not used this app and understood with ssd that less is more, but you say "always have done with a SSD that Windows still don't do but ought to" so good info to perhaps dig a little deeper.

How mine is configured, for what its worth

My settings are like this. I recommend leaving the Thumbnail Cache and Event Logging sections ON. If you disable Thumbnail Cache forcing Windows to recreate thumbnails every time you open a folder, causing repetitive read/write loads on your SSD and unnecessary CPU strain. Keeping it ON ensures faster and smoother folder navigation. Event Logging service logs system errors and crashes. While disabling it reduces minor write operations, it is essential for troubleshooting and system security. Unless you are doing an extreme "zero-write" build, it is safer to leave it ON.If your computer encounters a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or a program crashes, you need these records to understand the cause.

I can't remember the last time I had a system crash of any kind, a blue screen or the last time I even looked at events for anything useful whatever, (actually on any PC I look after) that's in many years (10 or more) which is why the settings I use are just for what its worth, just for me. Windows Indexing is horrific, the thing grinds along in the background mainly for the near on useless search, I've found through experimentation I just don't need these things running, I don’t use hibernate either it just causes more problems than what its worth, the desk PC boots from cold in a few seconds - I do understand your point of view though, but I do feel for me though its OK , the app & there are others I feel just make setting things up for an SSD is the way I used to do things before such apps came along, & handy for when MS decide to revert things back to the way they want - Some of the settings are also useful for rust spinners too

fwiw I went to download this app to take it for a test drive, and clicked the button and it did not download? ubo showing 0 trackers, not clear why no response to the download? perhaps fate saying you don't really need this app...

In my case the download went through without issues, only a warning triggered by the browser’s own security settings regarding the file. That makes me think your setup might have an extra defense —whether an extension, file reputation check, or antivirus— that blocks the download outright.

And about that “destiny”… sometimes it’s not destiny closing the door, but the guard deciding who gets in under his own rules .

P.S.: I don’t currently use this program myself, just sharing the experience.

Portable downloaded OK just now with VPN on

 

[ProblematicPions]

How can this app have a need to keep getting updated? Makes no sense to me. Seems more like a "Hey, I'm still here" approach

 

[Sorrento]

Not much changes I agree, as it does what I ask & portable probably not much to be gained by updating & maybe something to lose if it should get compromised?
