Don’t defragment SSDs – TRIM them
Defragmenting an SSD does not lead to any performance improvement: it can even reduce the life expectancy of an SSD. This must be avoided either through automatic recognition by the operating system or by a defragmentation software. A regular and automatic run of TRIM commands can substantially increase the performance of an SSD and extend its life expectancy. Read more…
For Windows 10, you need O&O DiskImage more than ever!

O&O Defrag und Solid State Drives
Solid State Drives (kurz SSD oder auch „Flash-Laufwerke“) sind in den vergangenen Jahren immer populärer geworden und treten als sehr schnelle Speichermedien in Konkurrenz zu den herkömmlichen Festplatten. Durch den alleinigen Einsatz von Speicherbausteinen entfallen sämtliche beweglichen Mechanikteile einer Festplatte, was sich in einem geringeren Stromverbrauch und einer geringeren Wärmeentwicklung niederschlägt. Darüber hinaus arbeiten SSDs … Read more
