Windows 8 ssd optimize

Limitation on write cycles, so defragging can reduce the SSD’s lifespan because the defragging process will produce unnecessary writes for SSDs.On the other hand, the saying that you should never defragment your SSD may be just “partially” right. I use the word “partially” because some of you may not know the differences between the disk defragmenter and the drive optimizer.Disk Defragmenter and Drive OptimizerIn operating system versions before Windows 8, there is a built-in disk defragmentation tool called Disk Defragmenter. It looks like the following picture.This tool can only treat your hard drives as HHDs and defrag them in the same way. Thus, defragging your SSDs will reduce their life. So, if you are running operating systems before Windows 8, you should not defrag SSDs.However, with the popularity of SSDs, Microsoft has replaced Disk Defragmenter with Optimize Drives from Windows 8. It looks like the following picture.Although the Disk Defragmenter and Optimize Drives have the same icon, they are slightly different in features. The biggest difference is that Optimize Drives can distinguish SSDs from hard drives.When you optimize an HHD, this tool will defrag it. However, when you optimize an SSD, this tool will not defrag it, but send TRIM command to the SSD master controller notifying which blocks are no longer considered for use and can be internally erased. So, if you are running Windows 8 or Windows 10, you can optimize your SSD with no worry.How to run Optimize Drives? Here is the tutorial.Step 1: Enter “optimize” in the Windows search box.Step 2: Click the Defragment and Optimize Drives icon to run it.Step 3: Choose a disk and click the Optimize button.Should you defrag SSDs? Absolutely not! You should optimize it not defrag it.Scanning SSD for Bad BlocksApart from optimizing SSDs, you should also pay attention to SSD bad blocks. Just like HHDs have bad sectors, SSDs also have bad blocks. Too many bad blocks can cause SSD failure. Hence, you should use a reliable third-party software to monitor your SSD.As for the SSD monitoring software, MiniTool Partition Wizard is recommended. Its Disk Surface Test feature not only

Because Windows itself lacks this feature. Here I recommend AOMEI Backupper Professional for its simplicity and efficiency: AOMEI BackupperEasy and Safe SSD Cloning Software It can clone larger drive to smaller drive with intelligent clone, or make an exact copy of the source disk with sector-by-sector clone. It can fit all partitions on the new SSD with “SSD Alignment” to optimize SSD performance. It has a user-friendly interface, so don’t worry about the operations even if you are a novice. It supports nearly all common SSD brands and models. You can use it to clone Samsung/Crucial/WD SSD, SATA/M.2 NVMe SSD, etc. It supports Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows Vista. 100% SecureDownload this SSD cloning software to have a try now.How to clone SSD to new SSD with secure bootIn the first place, connect the new SSD to your computer. The following guide will show you how to use AOMEI Backupper to copy SSD to new SSD.💡 Before you start: • Install the new SSD. If there's only one slot, try using an adapter or SSD enclosure to connect it. • Initialize the new SSD. It is best to make the partition style (MBR/GPT) of the SSD matched to the source disk, so you don't need to change boot mode after cloning. • If you've already stored some important files on the target SSD, please use AOMEI Backupper to make a backup first.1. Select Disk Clone in SSD clone software.Install and open AOMEI Backupper. Click Clone, and select Disk Clone.2. Click on the old SSD.Select the old SSD as the source disk.3. Click on the new SSD.Select the new SSD as the destination path.4. Optimize SSD performance and begin copying SSD to new SSD.It is strongly recommended to check "SSD Alignment" box since the

That the “SSD Experience” is different for Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 compared to Windows 7 and older Windows OS.Related: Does SSD impact gaming?Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 are operating systems that are, and if I may say again, that are… Solid State Drive friendly. Why? unlike windows 7 where you have to disable or exclude an SSD manually to its scheduled defragmentation. Windows 8, 81, and 10 optimizes your SSD and does not perform any defrag process to it at all. How does it optimize? rather than a scheduled defragmentation.. Windows 8, 81, and 10 would perform an optimization known as “TRIM”. A Trim command (commonly typeset as TRIM) allows an operating system to inform a Solid State Drives SSD which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally. This way, your SSD will be at top notch/best condition at all times.So if you have a Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10 system-based computer with a Solid State Drives SSD or planning to have one, here are our recommended ways of Solid State Drives SSD optimization for Windows 10 based computer system.Solid State Drives SSD Tweaks and Configuration Guide(This guide also applies for SSD optimization for Windows 8 and 8.1)Set your SATA controller to AHCI mode for Solid State Drives SSDAHCI mode simply enables the TRIM feature to do its job and to make sure everything works accordingly.To check if your system is in AHCI mode. Go to your device manager and open
