My partition starting offset is 16777216 divided by 4096 i get 4096. If my partition is so aligned why doesn't it get to advertised Read/writes speed? They say max Read up to 3300MB/s i get only 2700 and max write 3000MB/s i get only 1500MB sequential. What could've caused these performance drops? My CPU Ryzen 7 5700G (i know it only supports pci3 but the disk itself is pci3.) Does the speeds depend on the quality of motherboard?
Defragmenting isn't trimming. The only reasons I can think of that you'd want to defrag an SSD is to help refresh which cells data is stored on, which can help improve performance and data retention for some SSDs (the early Samsung EVO models, for example, before this was accounted for in later firmware) or where when extremely fragmented the limitations of the file system and OS themselves are reached (technically not an issue with the SSD, but rather how it's being used and optimized for a given OS). Overall though it is not recommended to do this as it mostly just adds wear cycles on the SSD, reducing its overall longevity. SSDs aren't physical disks that need file pieces stored close together to be read more quickly. Trimming is zeroing out cells where the file system data has since been deleted so that new data can be written to the cells a little faster as needed.
used both your Macrium tutorial and this one. It was a smooth process, and I'm already noticing a faster system. Thanks for making these! I will wait a month and then follow your tips for the hard drive that came with the computer.
@@Driving4bangers its snake oil. "reparing your registry" has never been a thing. it doesnt speed up your PC at all. it does Nothing. windows 10 handles your registry fine, and using some 3rd party program to modify it and delete entries is a big no-no and leads to more problems. the only thing CCleaner was good for was cleaning up temp files, but windows 10 does that anyway.
@GMODISM I was late man... I had no issues, but I wanted to have the best speed for csgo (counter strike global offensive) and had watched a utoob video (4 ways to optimize ssd and made those changes advised in that video).... I bought my computer in November 2020, but I believe it was made in 2018, either way it's got Windows 10 home the current windows and my C drive is an m.2 nvme ssd, so i really didn't need to change anything that video advised, but i did... didn't really notice any difference so i undid everything cept for the trim in cmd command the notify 0 for trimming... I'm sure as you said it was always enabled (cause it's got Windows 10) well actually i know for a fact it was since i had previously went to optimize drives and clicked on optimize for the ssd and it always said trim not that it had been defragged like it does with my D drive which is just a reg hdd.. it aggravates me though, that the engineers used backwards terms (enabled means disabled and disabled means enabled... man that's aggravating) anyway thanks, I'm glad i got more curious today and started searching video's on this topic, glad i found your video man and re-enabled prefetch (3), re-activated the trim in optimize drives to weekly and re-activated sys main🐈 p.s sorry if you get like 5 or 6 notifications, i kept editing my comment a bunch lol
I was wondering why my SSD was losing 3% of life in just 3 months then I saw this video and realized I turned off trim in the drive manager thinking it was defregmenting. Thanks for informing me, My drive probably won't get that health back but at least I learned.
3:05 THIS DOES APPLY TO M.2 SSDS TOO!!! THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF PCIE EXPRESS, CHECK THAT YOUR USING THE CORRECT M.2 SLOT ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD, THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSION OF PCIE EXPRESS LIKE 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, MAKE SURE YOUR CONNECTED TO THE NEWEST AND BEST VERSION ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD
A user called "Gmodism" linked me this video. I must say my old Windows Seven SSD Laptop disagrees; but hey, half of the softwares he mentions are the ones I use as well so, thumbs up for that; overall good video for Windows 10 users. I should thank this Gmodism dude, very helpful sir.
I have always stuck to the SSD recommendations that started with Windows 8. Such as, untick allow files to be indexed and disabling Windows Search. Thank you for making this video. Liked and Subbed!
damn good video! I went online and got unnecessary info that I knew I didn't have to do because i'm informed. but others wouldn't know so this video is spot on.
5:37 NO!!! With a solid state drive (SSD), it is recommended that you should NOT defragment the drive as it can cause unnecessary wear and tear which will reduce its life span!! Nevertheless, because of the efficient way in which SSD technology functions, defragmentation to improve performance is not actually required. SSDs are able to read blocks of data that are spread out over the drive just as fast as they can read those blocks that are adjacent to one another. Furthermore, they keep track of the order the files are written using a technique called ‘wear-levelling. This purposely writes data to the drive in such a way that its cells wear out evenly; which means that the drive does not degrade prematurely. Therefore, there is no reason to defragment a solid state hard drive to try and enhance its performance or its life span. The technology that solid state drives utilise means they are perfectly capable of looking after themselves!
Samsung Magician for 870 EVO under "Performance Optimization" if you select "Full Performance Mode" (which is the only mode that allows Rapid Status enabled) it gives a Caution: "product warranties may not apply to the drive's high temperature and data loss due to long-term use." Do you recommend that Full Performance Mode setting? Your tutorials are great, thank you.
Hey mate! Samsung ssd is of good quality, make sure there is a fan close to the ssd and monitor its temperature under high load to see if it gets too hot, if it doesn't get hot it should be absolutely fine. However most likely the boost won't be vital and the performance increase to normal use should not be large, so if you don't want to check what temperature it has under high load, or if it gets too hot, keep it disabled.
Hey when I try and optimize my ssd drive with the defragment tool only my hard drive shows up (d) and not my ssd (c) although device manager has located it and all my games are on my ssd so I’m not sure why it doesn’t read it, help please
Actualy if your on a low end lap top with an SSD indexing does actually make the SSD load faster. I don't say that cause i'm an expert cause i'm not. I'm a guy who tried it and it made a big difference. I would not have thought it would but it did.
hello I just cloned a ssd m.2 from an hdd, so my system is slow, nothing compares to a sdd, i tried come of your options but it didn't help, I also followed you cloning tutorial, any suggestion?
I have two 970 Evo M2 SSDs, I wanted to see how fast they would exchange information between eachother and when I tranfser from one to the other they start off with 1.5Gps which is good but after a few seconds it drops down to 300Mbs and stays there..... what is wrong??
SSDs can do increase the temperature of the laptop, especially if they are RGB. You would need a better cooling solution for your pc, and maybe a good cleanup of the internals !
Bro I have disk optimisation ON in Tools And it does it weekly , but if I check with WD Dashboard it sais "TRIM enabled for Windows to manage" but in the right corner it sais" Last Run NONE " ? Why is that , that means Windows never trimmed my ssd ? So this optimisation thing that windows is doing for me every week is basically SMART not TRIM ?
Hmmmm IDK because I never used WD dashboard unfortunately... But it's quite easy to just run trim from the windows defag and optimization tool, it probably suffices doing it a couple of times a year, every month at the most.
Keep hearing you are not supposed to optimize SSD. I've gone weeks without it and windows starts doing weird stuff like lagging and a blank search box. Once it's optimized everything is fine and windows will speed up again without internet surfing or Microsoft Word issues.
If I set up OP through macrium reflect, I do not need to enable it in my SSD software, correct? I have a crucial bx500 using their software it is a feature that must be only enabled, doesn’t appear to be adjustable.
You don't need an SSD software to use it, it is just a good i idea to have it installed for features, no need to have it running all the time in the background however.
Even then, not all Samsung drives work with Magician. I have a non-EVO model Samsung ssd and Magician does not work with it at all. It recognizes it but does nothing for it. Really sucks.

Optimize is not defragment despite the tool being called defragmenter. Optimize drives is a widows feature, it knows when it is a SSD.
old habit die hard
@@GMODISM Yeah optimisation makes a difference for better. Especially when you delete a ton of data you might want to manually run it.

Do i need to disable PREFETCH AND SUPERFETCH in registry editor for better performance ssd? Or it's for old windows and no need to do that?
If you use windows 10, then its automatic as said, if you use very old os like win98 or 2000, maybe XP, that might be necessary to do,

You are giving contradictory information. Samsung recommend disabling scheduled defragmentation and also says defragmentation is not required.
Scheduled trimming, not defragmentation
