[QUOTE="Slerion, post: 1111539, member: 50259"] SSDs perform their maintenance independently of the OS. The MFT and entire file table they present to the OS is essentially an "lie" for the OS to work with. Internally, SSDs constantly move data around to stay healthy through trimming and wear leveling. This process is invisible to both the OS and the user. To benefit your SSD, run the Windows Defrag (yes, Defrag) tool on it. This will optimize the SSD by invoking the [B]TRIM[/B] command, which informs the SSD that it can now clear marked free spaces. SSDs only slow down if they need to delete marked empty spaces before writing new data. When you delete files on an SSD, the data is not immediately erased until a TRIM operation is performed, leading to potential slowdowns (empty space must be cleared before writing new data). If you notice your SSD struggling, always ensure at least 20% of the SSD or NVMe is free ( Makes Wear Leveling Easier). Additionally, trim your SSD and then leave your PC or laptop idle for one hour. This should trigger internal wear leveling, which redistributes data to reduce wear on individual blocks and optimizes performance. [B]Defrag software which does actual Data movement on SSD is a SCAM ( It wont improve speeds in anyway and just wear your SSD down , its like saying your car moves to slow lets roll your tire down the hill 20x and maybe your car goes now faster ). Also its more important to choose a SSD / NVME with actual DRAM built in than anything else![/B] [/QUOTE]
