Manteniment
Solid State Drives generally require less maintenance than traditional Hard Disk Drives. However, following these practices can help maintain performance and extend lifespan:
- Activa TRIM: Ensure TRIM is enabled in your operating system. TRIM helps the SSD manage data more efficiently, preventing performance degradation over time. Most modern operating systems (Windows 7+, macOS, Linux) enable TRIM by default.
- Evitar la desfragmentació: Do not defragment an SSD. Defragmentation is designed for HDDs and can reduce the lifespan of an SSD by causing unnecessary write cycles.
- Mantenir l'espai lliure: Intenta mantenir lliure com a mínim un 10-15% de la capacitat de l'SSD. Això permet que els algoritmes de nivell de desgast de l'SSD funcionin de manera òptima.
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Periodically check Intel's official website for firmware updates for your SSD model. Firmware updates can improve performance, stability, and address known issues.
