Calling SSD users. What does your 'Optimise' window show ?

Thanks Cliff, you are a star with all this stuff (really :)) although I think I'm going to keep this installation standard for now at least.

Thanks though, I do appreciate all your efforts.

I just buy the SSD and use it. I don't worry myself sick over it. Most times theg aren't filled, sometimes they get close and I clean up. My oldest SSD is 7 years old and going fine. I now have 6 SSDs and no problems with any of them.

Yes, I agree with you

You're welcome, the custom view makes no changes, it just makes it easier to see what, when & if trim & defrag ran.
I have a couple of other custom views, for shutdown, boot & restart, and Windows & UWP apps updates.
It just makes it easier then treeing down to the item, and also sets a filter, so I only see what actions I want, and no meaningless errors(timeouts and such).:)

Samsung Magician 4.5 RAPID Mode - Evaluated With Demonstrated Speed Increase | The SSD Review

Windows does a fine job of caching frequently used data in memory all by itself.

That's not exactly what the review concludes but do as you see fit.

Did you read the entire article and the summary ?

We`ve gone over Rapid mode at Seven Forums years ago.

Cheers

agreed.
unless an SSD is being used on a very slow controller, i dont see the relevance in using RAPID at all.

in addition to the above, change the status of the service "optimize drives" to manual to prevent unnecessary start up during boot since it will not be used on SSD's. (MMC console, services)
edit: i dont typically like to set any services to "disabled" simply because setting them to "manual" allows the service to start in the event of a call to it, so even though "optimize drives" is set to "manual", opening (or any program calling it such as task scheduler) the GUI version of "defrag" will start the service but booting the OS will not start the service.

Manual is set as default.
