The OS then initiates garbage collection which wipes clean the space that files were recently deleted.
If you are utilizing an SSD, you can manually run ‘Optimize Drive’ which sends the TRIM command to the OS. More specifically, Windows Assessment Tool determines initially whether you are using an SSD or HDD and then sets the environment accordingly. Windows 7 Defragmentation Scheduling has now developed into Windows 8 Optimize Drive and Optimize Drive is good.įirst off, Optimize Drive recognizes if your storage medium is a hard drive or SSD and, if it is a HDD, disk defragmentation can be scheduled and will occur.

We have been saying this since 2007 and there have been some interesting threads throughout the years regarding our many SSD optimizations, just about everyone one of which is the mainstay of any SSD Optimization Guide these days.
Historically, the company party line is to always shut down Windows Defragmentation. Being a Windows 8 holdout, I elected to sidestep Windows 8 optimization questions until late and have recently discovered a tool in Windows 8 that benefits the SSD user, at least by way of comfort. It is inevitable that we receive a great deal of questions regarding both Windows and SSD optimization on a regular basis here at TSSDR Headquarters.
