Question SSD Optimize

[drjackool]

Hi
I have NVME 960 EVO 250G SSD and i just installed Windows (10) on it. The capacity used is about 24G. My question is what period should i use Windows Optimize tool to optimize it? Because i know every optimize (trim) task force used cells of SSD to write again and SSD life is depend to write count but my free space is lot!

Thanks

Install the latest Samsung NVME driver...

(Not sure what Windows Optimize tool you are referring to; WIn10 knows it is an SSD, and will handle TRIM functionality/wear leveling automatically...)

download/Run CrystalDiskMark, confirm sequential reads are ~2500-3000 MB/sec or so, with writes at 1500 MB/sec, and, you know it is working....

I believe W10 optimizes disks every 14 days, that's quite enough. There's a bit more to it than just sending Trim command. There's no need to change anything.
