[QUOTE="Reya, post: 498, member: 237"] [HEADING=2]After installing a new SSD, you may want to perform some tasks to optimize its performance and functionality. Here are some steps you can follow:[/HEADING] [LIST] [*]Check the alignment of the SSD partitions. This ensures that the SSD can read and write data efficiently and avoid unnecessary wear. You can use a tool like Disk Alignment Test to verify the alignment. [*]Enable TRIM support. TRIM is a feature that allows the operating system to inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be wiped. This helps to maintain the speed and lifespan of the SSD. You can enable TRIM by running the command `fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0` in an elevated command prompt. [*]Update the firmware of the SSD. Firmware is the software that controls the operation of the SSD. Updating it can improve the performance, stability and compatibility of the SSD. You can check the manufacturer's website for the latest firmware version and instructions on how to update it. [*]Configure the power settings. You may want to adjust the power settings of your system to prevent the SSD from entering a low-power state that can reduce its responsiveness. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings > Hard disk > Turn off hard disk after and set it to 0 minutes. [*]Disable unnecessary features. Some features that are useful for HDDs may not be needed or beneficial for SSDs, such as defragmentation, prefetch, superfetch and indexing. You can disable these features by following these steps: [/LIST] [LIST=1] [*] Defragmentation: Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Defragment and Optimize Drives > Select your SSD > Click Optimize > Uncheck Run on a schedule [*] Prefetch and Superfetch: Go to Start > Run > Type `services.msc` > Find Prefetch and Superfetch services > Right-click and select Properties > Set Startup type to Disabled [*] Indexing: Go to Start > File Explorer > Right-click your SSD > Select Properties > Uncheck Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
