  1. Is the same SSD optimization than SSD defragmentation?


    Hello all.


    According to this article it says that windows 10 performs monthly SSD defragmentation. I would like to ask if it's the same than optimization feature you have when you right click on ssd -> Properties -> Tools -> Optimize and from there you can select each SSD you have to optimize. Is that the same that defragment ssd or are completely different things?

    SSD Optimization

    Hi Jack

    Microsoft don't recommend optimizing an SSD only HDD's, it is just they have not removed SSD's form the optimize list . . .

    With regards to TRIM, you will not find that in a search, because it is not an application, it is a function of Windows that is turned on automatically, once Windows detects an SSD

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd and hit Enter

    Paste this into Command prompt and hit Enter

    fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

    Does that command return a 0 i

    I so, trim is turned on and you are good to go . .

    SSD Optimization

    Hi Markosmalliarakis,

    I'm sorry it's strange question. You have suggested I look at a link about updating to 1903 and creating installation media, not sure why. You suggest I use the op system as it's designed which I'm quite happy to do, unfortunately things can go wrong...

    So can I go back to square 1? My C disk is an SSD. I suspect an SSD is as likely to break down as anything else and would need to be replaced. In view of this I create an image of this C disk to an external HDD on a monthly basis so that IF I have to replace
    the C disk I can copy the latest image onto it. Is this so strange?

    As well as creating an image regularly I also create one should there be an updated version of Windows 10 as has happened to me, I now have 1903.

    As explained in my initial post I found the image creation having updated to 1903 took far longer than I had expected, I discovered that 'optimization' had not taken place for 31 days. I initiated optimization after which creating the image again was much
    quicker. From this I inferred that optimization is a good thing.

    Now I am told by DaveM121 I should NEVER optimize my SSD and rely on the trim feature. The recommendation by Microsoft to optimize is a mistake. I have changed my settings so optimization is disabled on the SSD. I will be creating another image on Oct 1st
    and making careful note of how long it takes.

    I have looked at various websites regarding SSD optimization, a lot of conflicting information.
