I would just to be safe.Also Disable Superfetch and Prefetch
Superfetch and Prefetch, when running, simply tells Windows what it should expect to load next so it’s cached to your RAM. The nice thing about having an SSD of course is that you don’t really need to have things pre-cached into RAM. SSDs have ridiculous fast access times that are many, many, many times faster than traditional platter HDDs. Since, Superfetch and Prefetch is only going to eat up precious memory without giving you much of a benefit in the performance department, might as well disable them since you’ll probably need the extra memory after disabling the pagefile.
Click start, in the search bar type “regedit” right click your search result and click “Run as Administrator”
Navigate to this location “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters”
Right click EnableSuperfetch and EnablePrefetcher and modify their values to 0
Restart your computer
2. Disable indexing
When indexing is enabled, Windows is taking what it thinks is the most commonly used files and stores its file locations for quick access. While this isn’t taxing on your SSD, this does tax your processor. With SSDs being fast enough to access all files – commonly used and not at lightning speeds, there’s no reason to have indexing bog down your PC. Turn it off!
Click Start
Click ‘Computer’
Right click your SSD (usually C
Click ‘Properties”
Under the General tab look to the bottom and untick ‘Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed’
3. Disable Hibernation
Disabling hibernation will allow you to free up tons of space as well. Plus, with your new SSD you can boot into Windows from a complete shutdown and open all your work back up again, just as fast as you can resume from a state of hibernation! That, or just use this other sleep mode called “standby”.
Click Start, in the search bar type “cmd”
Right click the search result and click “Run as Administrator”
Type “powercfg -h off”
4. Disable Write Caching
With mechanical hard drives, write caching is quite useful as hard drives frequently can’t keep up with the data that needed to be written on them, so data was stored onto memory first then transferred onto the hard drive. However, since SSDs are capable of extremely fast sequential and 4k writes, this is unnecessary.
Click Start
Right click ‘Computer’
Click ‘Properties’
Click ‘Device Manger’
Click ‘Disk Drives’
Right click your SSD
Click ‘Properties’
Click ‘Policies’ tab
Untick ‘Enable Write Caching for this drive’
Well, that’s it for now! It’s a pretty good list of optimization for those first time SSD users out there.
