  1. What does optimize disk do?


    Optimize and TRIM With hard drives, Optimize will do a minor defrag or file system check; with SSDs it forces the TRIM command.. Trimming erases cells and blocks of NAND that no longer contain data, and consolidates data into fewer locations

    Ok but what does that mean?

    Is “Consolidate” the same as “Optimize“?

    I would like to move all the data on a mechanical HDD together, leaving all the empty space together, because that make me happy and the mechanical HDD happy, less work for the HDD arm to do!

    :)

    disk optimizing

    Hi fussy063, the System Reserved Partition does not need to be optimized, it is managed and maintained by Windows.

    If you are using Norton's to optimize your disk(s), remove that partition from the list of partitions to be optimized and everything will be Okay.

    Disk optimization on an SSD

    Hi Ellaryk,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. Let me help you to fix the issue.



    Based on your information, yes Windows 10 does disk optimization. Let’s try the defragmenting the disk and check if this helps.


    • Open files explorer, right click on the disk and select Properties from the drop down. (Perform a disk clean up).

    • Click on Tool and click on Optimize button.
    • Select the disk, click on Analyze and click on Optimize button.
    Hope this helps. Let us know the status.
