    What is Storage Sense? And how would it handle SSDs and/or Hard Drives?


    There is a new Windows 10 feature that was added in the Creator's Update. It's called Storage Sense. It is accessed by going to the Settings UWP app, under the System menu, and in the Storage list item.


    I couldn't find any more information about Storage Sense, other than it helps with the data stored on your primary and secondary drives, I think?


    So I have a few questions:

    • What is Storage Sense and what does it really do? Give an explanation as detailed as possible.
    • How would it work on SSDs?
    • How would it work on Hard Drives / Disc Platter Storage Medias?
    • Is it self-aware the user is on SSDs or on Hard Drives?


    Thanks.

    :)

    hard drive full, but can<t find the item to erase

    Windows 10 has the option to change the storage location. We suggest that you change the storage location so you can still use your hard drive instead of using the SSD. Kindly follow the steps below on how to change the storage location:

    • On the Search bar, type in storage and select the top most result.
    • On the Storage screen, change the location of each options to your desired hard drive. The files will now be saved on the specific hard drive.

    Which SSD for Hard Drive Cache?

    Samsung drives are crap? Okay buddy....

    Their 840 evo drives are the only drives they have released that use TLC. At least in the consumer area.
