Running optimize drives thru the Tool tab never seems to do anything. In all the years I've had this laptop, I don't think it has ever shown "needs optimization". It always just shows "OK" and days since last run. And when I click in the optimize button I can see it going though % trimming but it literally takes one second to complete. It seems to be a pretty big discrepancy for this method to say everything is ok versus the 65% defragmentation showing in the PowerShell command line method.
Like I said this is my first SSD, I have no experience with what trimming should look like or how long it should take. But I actually have a couple spin platter external hard drives that I defrag once or twice a year, and I know that if they were defragmented at 65% it would probably take a couple hours to run. Granted they are 2TB drives versus only 32GB for the SSD, but I still think cleaning up 65% fragmentation should take more than a second.
I will add that in that same tab there is something named Windows RE tools that says it needs optimization, but when I select that drive and click the optimize button nothing happens.
