[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 933945, member: 31436"] As already stated, you don't need to do anything at all. A SSD can potentially last for decades, without any tweaking. Windows knows how to handle SSDs and will issue a TRIM command periodically. Windows 10 will occasionally defrag SSDs if it thinks its needed, and it is perfectly safe to do so. The only thing I would recommend doing is to occasionally check for firmware updates. New firmware sometimes includes important bug fixes and in some cases will increase the drive's performance. One final point is to stay well away from cheap little known Chinese brands as they typically have a high failure rate, unlike brand name SSDs. [/QUOTE]
