Everything to Do and Not to do with an SSD drive
Hello
With the forum members input we could compile some good information here to benefit all in regards to SSD drives.
1) For example : Should I defragment ( Optimize ) my SSD ?
Answer : No it can cause unnecessary wear which will reduce it's lifespan.
Because of the efficient technology functions of an SSD a defrag to improve performance is not required.
Also it is good idea to turn off Optimizer scheduler so Windows doesn't automatically Optimize.
There is different ways to turn off scheduler , Task scheduler, Command prompt , but I found the following way to be easy.
To turn off -
Near start button type in search area 'Defragment' > left click on Defragment and Optimize Drives > In Optimize Drives window lower right click Change Settings button > Uncheck Run on a schedule ( recommended ) > click ok > close
A few people , myself included would like to be familiar with SSD and benefit from the experience of members findings.
Everyone's input is appreciated
