@@alextutorials I never said it can be disabled When I go to the defrag option it shows up as trim my ssd I left it on by default And it's gets done in 2 seconds Kingston A400 (120gig ssd) On a laptop with SATA 2 interface with 70-100 Mbps average speeds
@@samsonsanthosh But still bud, it's the same thing for me, it shows that it's an SSD and leaving on or off wouldn't make a huge difference in performance but i turned it off (defragmantation ofc) because as i have said on my video, it's decreases the life span of the SSD so yeah
@@alextutorials ok listen If my memory serves right it only reduces the lifespan of the ssd if it's doing reads and writes constantly But trim(from the automatic optimiser) is simply an advance check up for ssds to do it more efficiently So that it doesn't do garbage collection when. Your actually doing reads and writes In return increasing performance If lifespan is what your worried about just make sure you haven't filled it up completely leave 10 percent unpartitioned And leave 10-30 percent on your c drive free Use it as much as you want it's meant to be used the more you spend on checking every bit your gonna waste time for nothing But ya other than windows 7 where it showed defrag instead of trim it showed trim ssd on windows 10 that's just my take on it I'm not going to force it on you And I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect its lifespan since it's a simple garbage collection task
I restarted my pc did a ssd speed test and came straight back to this video to comment and give it a thumbs up you are an absolute legend doing gods work thank you so much mate!
Oh wow, did i actually say that? Loooool my bad. I mean, the best thing i should've done was explain what this setting does and why put it to 0 but i did not do any of those lol, ah well, if this setting works for many ppl and it actually made their SSD faster, that's what matters lol
@@kouhaiii3182 Well tbh this video is almost 2 years old and i wasn't giving out proper explanations on what each thing did cuz i didn't and still don't use a script and i just go with it and whatever comes to my head, i say it lol but nowadays i have improved. If i had made this video right now, it would've been way better but ah well, it iz what it izz
@@darth9817 I'm not really good at explaining things but basically the "prefetcher" in general was used back in the Windows XP days and still works to this day and what it basically does is that it’s a method that allows a computer to silently fetch the necessary resources needed to display content that a user might access in the near future so resources can be accessed in less time. In simple terms it fetches (gathers) the required/important files to run the software and if the user runs the same software again in the near future, it will be opened very quickly so by enabling that setting in the Registry Editor, it will make almost all software and whatever you open up in less amount of time. Hope i helped
It's my pleasure helping you bud :). I don't like making long videos because it will take a lot of time to edit, add the subtitles etc and also people will get bored if the video is too long, so i like to keep my videos as short as possible
Thanks Mann this helped me ☺️🙌. If anyone is still not satisfied with the video, like me , I found out that The System Restore was also involved in using up 28GB of my SSD and you can probably delete it or Reduce its size in order to save space as well have a System Restore Point created
Glad i could help :D Yeah that's something as well that i didn't and wouldn't have showed in the video cuz this is simply an optimization video and not free up space video so yeah, what you said works ofc
And also sorry for the late reply before, i was feeling too good with myself so yeah Hahaha nah mate i don't really deserve the crown but sure I'll take it, thanks again😁
i saw this video in my feed and decided to go through all 4 steps if i could find anything new. i had done the first 3 already but trying the 4th step has really improved the response time of my ssd. thanks.
Thank you so much bro .. this went well for me. Now the booting speed and performance are much better. I've subscribed immediately when my laptop started to work faster 🤣
Thank you so much. Before I couldn’t even barely open up a program like task manager and the sad was at 100 no matter what, but now I can actually do stuff. Didn’t think it would actually work thank you so much
Bro I don’t know what you did but thanks to you immune pc became super fast. I thought just changing the hard disk to Ssd will make a difference but it was the same. Thanks to this method it became super fast. Thank you ❤
Usually upgrading from an HDD to SSD, you get a MASSIVE performance boost, like for sure a 60% boost with an SSD but not everyone gets the same results so yeah. But nonetheless, glad i could help bud :D
Defragmentation is for HDDs whereas as you told me for SSDs is TRIM, TRIM automatically TRIMs the SSD without you knowing it, it's not like defragmentation on the HDDs which you can see live what's defraging. Someone said this in a forum "SSDs don't need to be defragmented, because there is no physical head movement. Using defrag on a SSD lowers the life expectancy of a SSD." I totally agree with this guy.
Thanks A Lot Alex, I had just bought a brand new ss, installed windows on it but after 10-15 minutes of using it started lag, i restarted it and with ssd it took 1.5 mins to boot whereas my old 500 gb hard drive was faster i just searched tips to optime the ssd and saw your video and after doing all of the steps, I restarted my laptop didnt even show the acer logo or any loading screen. I am just loving the blazing fast speed Thanks Alex
I'm pretty sure there is an option in the BIOS on laptops that says something about "Fast Boot" or something like that. There is an option however on Windows itself to turn on "Fast Boot" but that will only apply when you SHUTDOWN your laptop/PC then booting up your computer again. Enabling this setting and then restarting, that will not affect anything, as i said, this setting only applies when you shutdown and then boot it back up after the shutdown, that's it. If you want i can tell you how to do it if you'd like. Haven't tried this setting before but this setting is recommended so yeah, if you want this setting enabled tell me but all in all, my pleasure helping you bud! :D
OK so i did a test of my own with the following numbers Without Fast Boot i got a time of 36.59 and with Fast Boot i got a time of 25.55 So yeah, you can tell the difference, i was shocked myself that i haven't enabled it before lol but yeah if you want i can tell you how to do it
You know what? that will be my next video idea. How the fuck didn't i think this video idea lol? I appreciate the video idea bud, you will be shouted out when that vid comes out!
Do you want to wait for the video to come out or you want me to tell you how to do it right now? The video will be unknown when it will be recorded/edited/posted but it will defo be uploaded this week
Wait wtf lol? How is that possible? Are you sure my video increased your SSD speed that much? I simply showed how to optimize your SSD not increase it's speed lol but that works tbh
@@alextutorials Yes, because as it was new the read and write speeds were : 550 MB/s and 540MB/s (Samsung QVO 870). After downloading and copying a lot of files on my pc, the write speed went down to 81 MB/s. Yesterday I've done what you told in the video and it went back to normal 540 MB/s :D
Thank you!. If you go to "Services" and find "SysMain" and read the description in the left side it says "Maintains and improves system performance over time.". This setting is better for HDDs because this setting apparently looks which apps you run most frequently and after a couple of days or so these most frequently used apps will get preloaded in the RAM, so next time you run these apps, it will open much faster compared to before. On the other hand, SSDs are super fast compared to HDDs and this setting for SDDs is unnecessary because again, SSDs are much faster than HDDs and that's why SysMain should be disabled
Hello! I recently did this tutorial and right after I did it seems that every single time I try to restart my laptop it just shows a black screen but everything seems fine when I shut it down and start it again.
Hello indeed! Hmm i'd suggest you to change back the settings to what they were cuz that shouldn't happen so change the settings to what you had before so your laptop doesn't get fucked up
It's true It's okay to nit disabled prefetch but sometimes prefetch just some mad shit to a computer and slows it down instead of speeding it up. But nonetheless, glad i could help :))
It worked very well for me. But the thing is, it only made my c drive faster(it's an hdd and I use it as the boot drive), but my ssd didn't really improve. Are those tips only working for the c drive or is there another reason?
If you have an OS on your SSD, head to your 2nd OS on your SSD and try the methods there. If you have only 1 OS and it's on your HDD, ofc the methods will apply there cuz you are doing these methods on your OS and these methods will get applied to your main drive where your OS is installed, in your case it's your SSD. You basically cannot improve performance on your SSD since it does not have an OS installed, so yea that's basically it.
Thank you! Glad i could help :D. I don't really like making long videos cuz 1st it will be a hassle editing it and 2nd people won't like it cuz of how lengthy it would be so i try to make my vids as short as possible
i have a one 1TB SSD and at first i only had 3338 speed and i tought its says on its info 3668 speed but its 30% reduced, i did all of your steps and now i have 3668 speed that helped me alot even when its 2019 it still helped tho
Hi, i recently bought a helios 300 and found your channel through recommendations. I was good in 8.1 but as 10 is a bit new to me i started watching some of the tweaks and tricks videos. I have to say you are very good. Your videos are to the point and short although if could explain just in one line each, how those tweaks in each steps is effecting the ssd the that would increase our knowledge much further. I am glad i found you channel, hoping to see more tips videos from you. ❤️ From India.
Ayyy thank you thank you :). I know what you mean but many times i forget what i wanna say and i improvise. But still you're right, i should tell in every on my tips videos why you have to do this step. I don't have a script so i just improvise on the go so yea. It's on my list so if i record a tips video in the future, I'll make sure to say why to do this step etc etc. I appreciate you like my channel bud! Will see if i continue my channel cuz there are lots of stuff going on around me and i can't find time for YT
I am a noob in terms of laptop but you are pro so i wanted to ask that, I have a optane memory and will these steps help it?? And how can i increase it?? Or should i buy a external ssd??
I'm not an actual pro in PCs yet, i am advanced i can say. Honestly, i don't own an optane drive and i'm not sure if my SSD steps work with optane, you can of course try it, it won't hurt the optane drive in any way, the steps may simply not work or may improve it a little bit. I can't tell you to buy an SSD just to do these steps, if you are happy with optane, there is no need to upgrade to an SSD. Also, optane is a tad faster than SSDs but the difference is minescule, you can barely tell the difference. I'd rather have an optane than an SSD IMO. If i were in your shoes, right now, i would try the SSD steps on the optane and see if it makes it a tad faster, otherwise, if the steps didn't help, then you have to stick with optane, either way optane is already quite fast in general
Hello sir, i have one question today i installed lexiar ssd to my laptop and i see a little difference my laptop went fast anyway but i need to ask you i'm programming in netbeans ide and the performance is better i have 4gb ram should i upgrade my ram to 8gb to have good programming experience? Sry about long message
Hello lad, don't worry about your long message, it's small so don't worry. So, here's the thing, 4GB is "enough" (i put it in quotation marks cuz right now, in 2021, they are not enough, you'll see why) but i put it in quotation marks because it's enough to run whatever you want if you are only working on that laptop and not gaming BUT the most important part is that if you upgrade to 8GB of RAM, your battery life will decrease, not a whole lot but it will decrease by a bit so that's something to consider as well but don't worry, upgrading to 8GB of RAM will not make your battery drain like 10% more lol, it will make a 1% difference. If your laptop is working fine and the RAM is not full when you're working, why bother upgrading to 8GB of RAM? If 4 is enough for you on what you're doing, just don't upgrade and save money for something else. Idk what laptop you got cuz idk if your laptop is capable of going to 8GB of RAM, most laptops do but not older ones. If you DO consider upgrading to 8GB of RAM, make sure you buy the SAME RAM stick as your already installed RAM cuz if you get a different RAM stick, the speeds will differ and may not be compatible with your laptop but do as you like. All in all, if you want to upgrade to 8GB of RAM, go for it BUT your battery will decrease by a very small amount BUT you will see a huge difference in performance so do as you like, don't take my opinion only, ask other people if you'd like
I tried 3 of the 4 stuff you did The thing in command prompt didnt work and resulted in a lot of text but not « disabled 0 » or even 1 And my ssd speed is the same
bro I enabled "let windows trim SSD " in my SSD program and now there's a tiny blue circle around my pointer and like everytime I load a small program it just appears, so I disabled trim now everything is normal again , weird it seems it stresses SSD ?
That's just nothing, that's nothing to worry about. That means that your PC is working to get that program open and it's not only for your SSD, it's for your CPU as well and whenever you see that, it's just normal behavior. Turn the setting back on if you're fine with that
I mean ofc this video will not work for EVERYONE so unlucky guys like you, my video didn't work unfortunately. OK first of all lol my video cannot slow down your Internet because it's lirerally impossible for that to happen, internet speed and SSD performance are 2 complete different things so i can easily assure you that my video can't have slowed down your Internet speed
Yeah it will, an external SSD is basically the same as an inside SSD but the thing that makes them different is just their connections which the internal SSD is SATA and the external SSD is USB Type-C or any other USB type so it should work
pls help me . my ssd (c drive ) was filling for no reason . so i installed disk defrag software . when i defrag my ssd free space reduced from 40gb to 25gb . pls tell me how to fix
I'm pretty sure these are cache files and folders that did not get deleted. So what i want you to do, you need to go to Windows Explorer > Your C drive (Your SSD) > Right click > Properties > General > Disk Cleanup. There you will see a window with options below. Look what's the biggest file there, if you see like 5GB+, then it needs to be deleted. To delete all of these files, check every single box then click "OK" in the bottom right corner. It will give you another window, just click "Delete Files" then wait for that to finish. If you did not understand, watch this video from 4:04 - 4:35. This will do the trick :)
My read speed is at 3450s but my write has gone down from 1900 to 400 to 700, do u know why this could happen, I have a PRIME x470-pro and the ssd I use is a Sabret Rocket Q 1 tb
Honestly, write speeds have never been stable so don't expect to have stable write speeds cuz they fluctuate a lot, don't expect write speed to stay stable at 2000 MB/s. If you are writing something big to the SSD for a long time, the write speed drops cuz the SSD heats up and at some point the write speed drops. That doesn't necessarily happen everytime but it happens quite a lot if you're writing something big at the SSD for long periods of time. Pretty sure you know what i mean. I think that's the issue you're having
My 240 MB (company write speed is 500 MB and i get 284) ssd was running slow half of its speed, so i checked optimiz option and it had been on for 3 months and had been optinmized automaticy & i didnt notice. So the damage already done. now i off the optimize option but dont think i will get my real speed back ever. help man if u have any solution. pardon my English.
First of all "retrim" does not exist, TRIM is what you mean, second of all your other comment got deleted so as to keep everything in one comment and not spam. Anyways, why would TRIM damage your SSD when it's an SSD feature lol? It is kinda the same thing as defragment but defragment just puts the lost files in the correct place where they should be. TRIM on the other hand deletes files that are not being used by the SSD anymore and that can free up space. I mean, it's pretty much self-explanatory so yeah. That's basically it.
so my ssd never said its been defrag or optimized in the optimization menu under my disk should i run a weekly optimization first then turn it off or keep it off?
I said in the video turn it off, so turn it off completely and never enable it because SSDs have their own optimization feature called TRIM, so no need to defrag the SSD since it also decreases it's lifespan
@@loop5720 Yea i know. If anyone says that if you disable defragmentation it disables the TRIM function as well, they obviously don't know anything about computers, here's why. If you go to your SSD's software and you look for a setting called "TRIM" it will say "TRIM Enabled" even with defragmentation disabled. A different way to check if TRIM is Enabled is to open CMD as administrator and if you copy paste this command to cmd "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" and you hit Enter, if the results is like that "NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled)" then TRIM is enabled, do not get tricked because on CMD it says (Disabled) it's actually enabled. If you get in the results at the the number 1 (Enabled) then the TRIM function is disabled, so yea. I mean, if you want to check about TRIM if it's disabled or not, here's a link to a website. www.windowscentral.com/how-ensure-trim-enabled-windows-10-speed-ssd-performance. People can come argue with me that if you disable defragmentation the TRIM function gets disabled, bullshit, i know my stuff and not only me, almost everyone at the internet as well.
@@arvaan4196 I typically reply quick so yea. If have had uTorrent open in the background and playing games, you may have seen a difference but now we'll see
@@alextutorials Not much difference in ssd since I never really had a problem with it. It did help me free up 4 or 5 Gb . Now I will test out fortnite and minecraft to see any FPS difference and input response.
@@arvaan4196 The difference will be mostly the CPU cuz that virus was aiming for the CPU and not for the SSD/HDD. I mean, 4-5 GB is quite a lot if you ask me. OK bud, once you test it out, let me know!
You do not have an SSD, you probably have an NVMe M.2 SSD cuz SSDs the maximum read and write speeds are around 500-550MB/s and the maximum speeds for NVMe M.2 SSDs are around 1.100MB/s for write and read speeds around 2.500MB/s or so so don't worry, it's all good
Yo, I have a question, whenever I go to Optimize Drives and it always say needs optimization, every time I always check, it doesn’t tell me when was the last time I optimized the SSD, it sometimes say need optimization
Your SSD trims itself automatically and disabling defragment will not change the TRIM command at all, it will work like nothing happened. TRIM deletes unwanted files or in other words useless files that take up space. Yes it deletes files BUT not personal files. The command fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify basically checks if the TRIM command is enabled or not and if it enabled, it will show up as "0" and if it's disabled, it will show up at "1"
@@alextutorials Hello Sir, thanks for the reply; I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit OS and ADATA SU650 ATA Device 480 gb Actually my SSD stared freezing recently; shows cyclic redundancy and BSOD appears; sometimes when I try to access /open rarely visited files; they become inaccessible and same BSOD problem appears; I have turned on AHCI mode for ssd in BIOS; but when I checked using Tweak SSD software; it shows AHCI is disabled; my motheberboard is Zeb G41-d3 LGA 775 socket which has 4 SATA ports which says can transfer 3 GB/sec data (SATA3 ports ); I am not able to figure out what could be the problem? Do I need to optimise SSD; If yes, how to do it? Desperately seeking a solution here. Thanks in advance.
@@sarveshm6779 Well first things first, how many years is this particular SSD? SSDs have 3-5 year warranty and tbh if it's still in warranty, you can take it to the manufacturer or a certified repair shop if you'd like and they can have your SSD checked and fixed (if possible). The way you told me that you get BSODs, inaccessible files, SSD freezing in general etc etc, that just means that your SSD is slowly dying because this many issues on a single drive is a warning and it tells you that your SSD is going to die soon BUT that could not be it, that could simply be that Windows itself is having problems. What i suggest you to do is you either do a fresh/clean install of Windows on that same drive, use it for a couple of days and see it the problem still occurs or if it's still in warranty, take it to a repair shop to get your SSD checked out but if your SSD is old af for example like 5+ years, then buy a new one tbh, they are not that expensive nowadays. Yea i know you may not like the idea of doing a fresh install of Windows on your SSD but you gotta do it if it's your last resort. You wouldn't like your SSD die out of nowhere just like that with all your files in it, that would be horrific. So yeah, do what i said. And to answer your question if you need to optimize your SSD and how to do it, dude, you are on my video called 4 steps to optimize your SSD, just follow the steps and it could speed it up a little.
@@alextutorials yes, thanks for the detailed answer. I think i need to reinstall windows; and will check if problem persists; actually i bought it in 2019; so i guess its still in warranty; but right now I dont want to take it to the manufacturer or a repair shop; coz its still lockdown here and also its a time consuming process; also, i have tried a couple of tweaks from ur video but that inaccessible files problem still occured today only; and one last thing I want to ask is it ok to clean format ssd drives; just the way we do it for hdd; will take a backup first and then format each drive one by one. Thanks for the help and advice; actually I've asked this question in many forums; but no apt reply; Thanks very much.
@@sarveshm6779 I always try to give out detailed answers to people in need :). Oki dokie, if you try reinstalling Windows and all that and you still see that the problem persists, it's best to take it to a repair shop because it will be a huge hassle fixing nothing and just wasting time your time but do as you wish ofc. About the inaccessible part, i don't think that any of my tweaks would make a difference in your inaccessible files issue because that's a different story. And yes ofc it's totally safe and OK to format your SSD like we do on HDDs, it won't make a difference. It's still a storage device so yeah. The same goes with NVMes etc etc. I've had your forum issue many times fr, asking for something simple or complicated and get 0 answers. Why? because either people cba to write the solution or they actually don't know the solution. It's completely irritating. Anyways, i am here for everything you may need so if you have any other issues, feel free to ask me here or sent an email on my email that i have on the About section on my channel and we can talk there, your choice
My NvME SSD is getting up to 880 MB/S reeding speed, but this is only 4/1 speed of its actual... I have done the settings you recommend on here, but it is still the same. What should i do?
@@byEnesTalha Honestly, you have 4x the speed of my SSD and your NvME is at really good speeds. I cannot give you a straight answer to why it does not run at full speed but there are some things to look at for. 1. Have you installed the latest drivers for the NvME? 2. Your NvMe is an NvME SSD so it probably runs at SATA speeds, not sure 3. If you have other storages such as a secondary SSD or Hard Drive, they may be sharing the speeds to each other and that limits the NvME speed going to full speed. 4. The speed may be limited cuz the port itself is an PCIe 2.0 and not 3.0 Honestly, it could be many things and i cannot tell you an exact answer. Can you go to your BIOS and look for a setting about NvME speeds or ports speeds?
@@alextutorials I have checked every settings on BIOS, i have done every updates, (bios and the offical driver updates of my ssd) but still it is the same. I use only NvME SSD, not any other drives. Windows settled on this SSD, all my games and softwares are settled in here. Now i checked, my motherboard's M2 slot supports PCI 2. Gen, i guess i found the main reason. :) I didn't know PCI 2. Gen slots not allow to max speed of NvME SSDs. Or i assume that the other probable reason may be my CPU, i use i3 9100f and this CPU doesn't support 3000MHz ram frequncy, now i guess it also doesn't support 3,5 GB Read Speed SSDs. That's what i understand from the situation.
@@byEnesTalha Now i get it, the main reason is your port. So your M.2 is a PCIe 2.0 x2 which the maximum speed as it says on this website (www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Overview-of-M-2-SSDs-586/ Look at the graph below) is 800MB/s whereas the PCIe 2.0 x4 is 1.6GB/s and so on. And if you look at your motherboards website it says "1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe x2 SSD support)", you see that it says "PCIe x2" so it uses the PCIe x2 speed which as i mentioned above, the max speed is 800MB/s, so that's why your NvME SSD doesn't run at 3.4GB/s as your NvME specs say. I don't know that if you had gotten just a plain NvME and not an NvME SSD, the speeds could've been different cuz your motherboard says at the end of the sentence i pasted here says "...and PCIe x2 SSD support" so i think if you had gotten a plain NvME, the speeds could've been higher, i could be wrong but that's what i understand. Honestly, i'd just stick to 880MB/s cuz it's still a high speed at the end of they day. I have a Samsung 860 EVO connected to a SATA 2 port (my motherboard does not support SATA 3) and the max speed i get is 284MB/s. If i had gotten 880MB/s, i would still be happy even if it does not hit max speed, so you just have to stick with that speed for now
From where did you come up with this rumour? No it's not even possible, SSDs only Read/Writes stuff and does not make "downloads" faster. If your SSD is slow, follow my video and it will help you
Well no, that cannot happen after applying settings that would make your SSD faster. Try reverting the settings one by one to see which setting makes your SSD slower. If you found that settings, let it default and let the other settings to what i showed in my video
No PC nor Windows defrags the SSD at booting.... who told you that? If it was true, boot times would be 5-10 mins long. I have no clue where you heard/seen that but it's very wrong
Did a quick google search and that's a bug that the build 2004 has. I did not know it till now. That's why people never update to the new builds of Windows cuz you get bugs like these and in order to fix them is to roll back to the previous build. To fix this, the only way is to roll back to the previous build or wait for the fix which could take a few days i don't know. Do what you want bud. Whenever a new build of Windows rolls out, i always wait at least 2 months for Microsoft to fix the bugs that new builds has
Well i cannot really help you at that because I've never had a PCIe 3.0 ports and cannot help you at that unfortunately. First of all has my video decreased your speed?
@@abhishek8227 Also I'm currently abroad so replying speeds may be slow. That other x2 speed may be limited by your other components or your NVMe storage drive itself, not sure
I have heared that windows khows it an ssd and it does not defrag it it performes other optimizations for it thats why it give warning there your drive need optimization he may be correct because windows has bad image that it defrag ssds so till now they must have solved this bug in w10 and thats why it says to opttimise drive ???
Um no, i'm not a Windows 10 expert but Windows 10 does not know if it's an SSD or not (Task Manager knows though) and it will still defrag it no matter what. Try using a Virtual Machine, install Windows 10 on that VM, head straight to the defragment section and you will see that it says that it will defrag in the next day or next week so what you said is not true
Hello hello! Um, actually, I'm not quite sure about this so i cannot really answer that unfortunately. It's best to leave it as is it to not do any damages cuz dram chips are quite important so yeah. I mean if you want, you can apply the changes and see for youself if it improves performance or not but i will not be responsible if anything happens to your SSD
Only on the SSD, if you have 2 operating systems it's still a no. I mean, the title says "SSD" so you can do the changes regardless if you have an HDD. I have an SSD and HDD as well and i have applied these settings only on my operating system which is on my SSD whereas my HDD is just storage so yea.
@@Roomy_21 Well if you have installed Windows on your HDD, then you have made a mistake. To make your Windows to be set in your SSD, unfortunately you have to completely reinstall your Windows on your SSD, unless you have your Windows installed on your SSD and you don't know idk
@@Roomy_21 Well, i did not even get a notification for your reply, i'm really sorry bud, did not even see it. To answer your question, if you reinstall Windows on your SSD then ofc it has to be wiped and the same goes with your HDD i think
It's technically an SSD so it should work just fine, haven't tried it myself because i have never owned an NVMe SSD before but since it's still an SSD, it should work as a normal SSD
Yea police is gonna come to your house and arrest ya... Nah man ofc not lol. If you have defragged it a few times and not like 50+ times and you have defragged it like 10 times, then all good don't worry
Wait wtf, i replied to your comment when you posted your comment but now i see nothing got posted, i apologize about that. What i said was that i am not sure, i haven't never owned an M.2 before so i am not sure. I mean you own an M.2 yourself so why not try the methods for your M.2 and leave your thoughts if your M.2 got improved in terms of speed etc etc

@@alextutorials it's good keep it fast. I don't need trashy long video. Someone made an video 13mins long about ssd when it's supposed to by 2mins and its irritating he keeps repeating the same meaning sentence over and over.
@@winglau3128 I feel ya i feel ya, i have been in this situation multiple times and you can't miss it easily but yeah i try to make my vids as short as possible so as not to waste ppls time
Wait what? You were defragging your SSD EVERY TIME you played a game? Bro you have fucked up your SSD if you actually defragged it every time you played a game but hey as long as it works just fine, then there is nothing to worry about (for now)
@@clericksaragena4358 Well yeah it would still work ofc lol but something to keep in mind as well is that defragging is only for HDDs and not for SSDs cuz SSDs as i said in the video, have NAND flash chips in them so yeah. Keep that in mind. Of course though defragging will not make your SSD die in a few months, it will decrease it's lifespan which is something to worry about (not sure by how much it decreases the lifespan, it must be a very very small amount but still) so defragging it like 5-10 times in total, you shouldn't worry about it
@@clericksaragena4358 Not sure, it will definitely be a little bit faster than before in terms of read/write speeds and some small improvements how the SSD works in the background but that's about it really. You may/may not see improvements with your naked eye but in background there will be improvements. As you see in the comments section, many people have had great results with my vid and yours should too but ofc this video may not work for EVERYONE but for most of them will do, not sure about you but you should see small improvements
@@noobyestonytalt2769 Nope, it's just purely coincidence. The chunks are being loaded by the GPU and not the SSD. The SSD will just give you faster loading/cutscreen times, that's it.
Make sure you enable subtitles if you didn't understand something.
I'm pretty sure the defragmentation section is actually called trim
In other words leaving it on is better for the ssd
@@samsonsanthosh Nope, wrong, TRIM cannot be disabled on the defragmantation section, it's not possible, I've done my research
@@alextutorials I never said it can be disabled
When I go to the defrag option it shows up as trim my ssd
I left it on by default
And it's gets done in 2 seconds
Kingston A400 (120gig ssd)
On a laptop with SATA 2 interface with 70-100 Mbps average speeds
@@samsonsanthosh But still bud, it's the same thing for me, it shows that it's an SSD and leaving on or off wouldn't make a huge difference in performance but i turned it off (defragmantation ofc) because as i have said on my video, it's decreases the life span of the SSD so yeah
@@alextutorials ok listen
If my memory serves right it only reduces the lifespan of the ssd if it's doing reads and writes constantly
But trim(from the automatic optimiser) is simply an advance check up for ssds to do it more efficiently
So that it doesn't do garbage collection when. Your actually doing reads and writes
In return increasing performance
If lifespan is what your worried about just make sure you haven't filled it up completely leave 10 percent unpartitioned
And leave 10-30 percent on your c drive free
Use it as much as you want it's meant to be used the more you spend on checking every bit your gonna waste time for nothing
But ya other than windows 7 where it showed defrag instead of trim it showed trim ssd on windows 10 that's just my take on it I'm not going to force it on you
And I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect its lifespan since it's a simple garbage collection task
I restarted my pc did a ssd speed test and came straight back to this video to comment and give it a thumbs up you are an absolute legend doing gods work thank you so much mate!
Perfect! I'm glad that my video helped you out mate :D
"Um I do not actually know what this does, but I'm pretty sure it optimizes your SSD" Your fearless leader has spoken lol.
Oh wow, did i actually say that? Loooool my bad. I mean, the best thing i should've done was explain what this setting does and why put it to 0 but i did not do any of those lol, ah well, if this setting works for many ppl and it actually made their SSD faster, that's what matters lol
@@alextutorials tbf even if the explanation did sound shady, i would have done it anyway. lol
@@kouhaiii3182 Well tbh this video is almost 2 years old and i wasn't giving out proper explanations on what each thing did cuz i didn't and still don't use a script and i just go with it and whatever comes to my head, i say it lol but nowadays i have improved. If i had made this video right now, it would've been way better but ah well, it iz what it izz
@@alextutorials Please explain bro
@@darth9817 I'm not really good at explaining things but basically the "prefetcher" in general was used back in the Windows XP days and still works to this day and what it basically does is that it’s a method that allows a computer to silently fetch the necessary resources needed to display content that a user might access in the near future so resources can be accessed in less time. In simple terms it fetches (gathers) the required/important files to run the software and if the user runs the same software again in the near future, it will be opened very quickly so by enabling that setting in the Registry Editor, it will make almost all software and whatever you open up in less amount of time. Hope i helped
I call that efficiency. Short and straight to the point. Thank you very much friend!
It's my pleasure helping you bud :). I don't like making long videos because it will take a lot of time to edit, add the subtitles etc and also people will get bored if the video is too long, so i like to keep my videos as short as possible
Thank you!
The first step immediately increased my SSD's performance. Thank you so much!
Perfect! Glad i could help :D
After applying the changes you recommended the effects were immediate, thank you very much man.
Perfect! Glad to hear it! My pleasure helping you bud :D
Thanks Mann this helped me ☺️🙌.
If anyone is still not satisfied with the video, like me , I found out that
The System Restore was also involved in using up 28GB of my SSD and you can probably delete it or Reduce its size in order to save space as well have a System Restore Point created
Glad i could help :D
Yeah that's something as well that i didn't and wouldn't have showed in the video cuz this is simply an optimization video and not free up space video so yeah, what you said works ofc

i saw this video in my feed and decided to go through all 4 steps if i could find anything new. i had done the first 3 already but trying the 4th step has really improved the response time of my ssd. thanks.

Thank you so much bro .. this went well for me. Now the booting speed and performance are much better. I've subscribed immediately when my laptop started to work faster 🤣
My pleasure helping you bud! I appreciate the sub, it helps me a lot :D
Thank you so much. Before I couldn’t even barely open up a program like task manager and the sad was at 100 no matter what, but now I can actually do stuff. Didn’t think it would actually work thank you so much
Wow, that's a huge improvement! Glad i could help :D
Bro I don’t know what you did but thanks to you immune pc became super fast. I thought just changing the hard disk to Ssd will make a difference but it was the same. Thanks to this method it became super fast. Thank you ❤
Usually upgrading from an HDD to SSD, you get a MASSIVE performance boost, like for sure a 60% boost with an SSD but not everyone gets the same results so yeah. But nonetheless, glad i could help bud :D
i heard that optimization for ssd in windows 10 is good because it's not defragmenting it, it's trimming the ssd
Defragmentation is for HDDs whereas as you told me for SSDs is TRIM, TRIM automatically TRIMs the SSD without you knowing it, it's not like defragmentation on the HDDs which you can see live what's defraging. Someone said this in a forum "SSDs don't need to be defragmented, because there is no physical head movement. Using defrag on a SSD lowers the life expectancy of a SSD." I totally agree with this guy.
This guide is so fast that I need to pause hahah. VERY NICE ! THANK YOU!
It's my pleasure helping you bud :)
Hey thanks a lot for this! I’ve been fighting this for nearly a year.
Glad i could help bud :D and i can feel your pain

Glad i could help lad :)
i just need to say thx bro , its really work when i restart the computer thx alot for helping
It's my pleasure helping you bud :)
Thanks A Lot Alex,
I had just bought a brand new ss,
installed windows on it but after 10-15 minutes of using it started lag,
i restarted it and with ssd it took 1.5 mins to boot whereas my old 500 gb hard drive was faster i just searched tips to optime the ssd and saw your video and after doing all of the steps,
I restarted my laptop didnt even show the acer logo or any loading screen.
I am just loving the blazing fast speed
Thanks Alex
I'm pretty sure there is an option in the BIOS on laptops that says something about "Fast Boot" or something like that. There is an option however on Windows itself to turn on "Fast Boot" but that will only apply when you SHUTDOWN your laptop/PC then booting up your computer again. Enabling this setting and then restarting, that will not affect anything, as i said, this setting only applies when you shutdown and then boot it back up after the shutdown, that's it. If you want i can tell you how to do it if you'd like. Haven't tried this setting before but this setting is recommended so yeah, if you want this setting enabled tell me but all in all, my pleasure helping you bud! :D
OK so i did a test of my own with the following numbers
Without Fast Boot i got a time of 36.59
and with Fast Boot i got a time of 25.55
So yeah, you can tell the difference, i was shocked myself that i haven't enabled it before lol but yeah if you want i can tell you how to do it

Nice vid! Can you explain why SysMain should be disabled?
Thank you!. If you go to "Services" and find "SysMain" and read the description in the left side it says "Maintains and improves system performance over time.". This setting is better for HDDs because this setting apparently looks which apps you run most frequently and after a couple of days or so these most frequently used apps will get preloaded in the RAM, so next time you run these apps, it will open much faster compared to before. On the other hand, SSDs are super fast compared to HDDs and this setting for SDDs is unnecessary because again, SSDs are much faster than HDDs and that's why SysMain should be disabled
Hello! I recently did this tutorial and right after I did it seems that every single time I try to restart my laptop it just shows a black screen but everything seems fine when I shut it down and start it again.
Hello indeed!
Hmm i'd suggest you to change back the settings to what they were cuz that shouldn't happen so change the settings to what you had before so your laptop doesn't get fucked up
Thank you very much, that helps alot
Glad i could help :)
It is okay also to not change the prefetch part i have now disable fragment and sysmain which is good thanks for the vidd
It's true It's okay to nit disabled prefetch but sometimes prefetch just some mad shit to a computer and slows it down instead of speeding it up. But nonetheless, glad i could help :))
It worked very well for me. But the thing is, it only made my c drive faster(it's an hdd and I use it as the boot drive), but my ssd didn't really improve. Are those tips only working for the c drive or is there another reason?
If you have an OS on your SSD, head to your 2nd OS on your SSD and try the methods there. If you have only 1 OS and it's on your HDD, ofc the methods will apply there cuz you are doing these methods on your OS and these methods will get applied to your main drive where your OS is installed, in your case it's your SSD. You basically cannot improve performance on your SSD since it does not have an OS installed, so yea that's basically it.
Really really nice video.. Love it.. All the way straight to the point!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, i recently bought a helios 300 and found your channel through recommendations. I was good in 8.1 but as 10 is a bit new to me i started watching some of the tweaks and tricks videos. I have to say you are very good. Your videos are to the point and short although if could explain just in one line each, how those tweaks in each steps is effecting the ssd the that would increase our knowledge much further. I am glad i found you channel, hoping to see more tips videos from you. ❤️ From India.
Ayyy thank you thank you :). I know what you mean but many times i forget what i wanna say and i improvise. But still you're right, i should tell in every on my tips videos why you have to do this step. I don't have a script so i just improvise on the go so yea. It's on my list so if i record a tips video in the future, I'll make sure to say why to do this step etc etc. I appreciate you like my channel bud! Will see if i continue my channel cuz there are lots of stuff going on around me and i can't find time for YT
I am a noob in terms of laptop but you are pro so i wanted to ask that, I have a optane memory and will these steps help it?? And how can i increase it?? Or should i buy a external ssd??
I'm not an actual pro in PCs yet, i am advanced i can say. Honestly, i don't own an optane drive and i'm not sure if my SSD steps work with optane, you can of course try it, it won't hurt the optane drive in any way, the steps may simply not work or may improve it a little bit. I can't tell you to buy an SSD just to do these steps, if you are happy with optane, there is no need to upgrade to an SSD. Also, optane is a tad faster than SSDs but the difference is minescule, you can barely tell the difference. I'd rather have an optane than an SSD IMO. If i were in your shoes, right now, i would try the SSD steps on the optane and see if it makes it a tad faster, otherwise, if the steps didn't help, then you have to stick with optane, either way optane is already quite fast in general
holy shit this helped sm
Glad i could help :D
Thank you.

Hello sir, i have one question today i installed lexiar ssd to my laptop and i see a little difference my laptop went fast anyway but i need to ask you i'm programming in netbeans ide and the performance is better i have 4gb ram should i upgrade my ram to 8gb to have good programming experience? Sry about long message
Hello lad, don't worry about your long message, it's small so don't worry. So, here's the thing, 4GB is "enough" (i put it in quotation marks cuz right now, in 2021, they are not enough, you'll see why) but i put it in quotation marks because it's enough to run whatever you want if you are only working on that laptop and not gaming BUT the most important part is that if you upgrade to 8GB of RAM, your battery life will decrease, not a whole lot but it will decrease by a bit so that's something to consider as well but don't worry, upgrading to 8GB of RAM will not make your battery drain like 10% more lol, it will make a 1% difference. If your laptop is working fine and the RAM is not full when you're working, why bother upgrading to 8GB of RAM? If 4 is enough for you on what you're doing, just don't upgrade and save money for something else. Idk what laptop you got cuz idk if your laptop is capable of going to 8GB of RAM, most laptops do but not older ones. If you DO consider upgrading to 8GB of RAM, make sure you buy the SAME RAM stick as your already installed RAM cuz if you get a different RAM stick, the speeds will differ and may not be compatible with your laptop but do as you like.
All in all, if you want to upgrade to 8GB of RAM, go for it BUT your battery will decrease by a very small amount BUT you will see a huge difference in performance so do as you like, don't take my opinion only, ask other people if you'd like
I tried 3 of the 4 stuff you did
The thing in command prompt didnt work and resulted in a lot of text but not « disabled 0 » or even 1
And my ssd speed is the same
Thank you
Glad i could help you :)
bro I enabled "let windows trim SSD " in my SSD program and now there's a tiny blue circle around my pointer and like everytime I load a small program it just appears, so I disabled trim now everything is normal again , weird it seems it stresses SSD ?
That's just nothing, that's nothing to worry about. That means that your PC is working to get that program open and it's not only for your SSD, it's for your CPU as well and whenever you see that, it's just normal behavior. Turn the setting back on if you're fine with that
it didn't do anything for the performance of my SSD but it slowed down my internet speed IDK why and how!!
I mean ofc this video will not work for EVERYONE so unlucky guys like you, my video didn't work unfortunately.
OK first of all lol my video cannot slow down your Internet because it's lirerally impossible for that to happen, internet speed and SSD performance are 2 complete different things so i can easily assure you that my video can't have slowed down your Internet speed
Hey Bro I got an external SSD . Does it work on external SSD too?? Please reply
Yeah it will, an external SSD is basically the same as an inside SSD but the thing that makes them different is just their connections which the internal SSD is SATA and the external SSD is USB Type-C or any other USB type so it should work
my SSD is not detected in “Optimize Drives”, what should I do?
Stupid question but is it properly connected to your computer?
pls help me . my ssd (c drive ) was filling for no reason . so i installed disk defrag software . when i defrag my ssd free space reduced from 40gb to 25gb . pls tell me how to fix
I'm pretty sure these are cache files and folders that did not get deleted. So what i want you to do, you need to go to Windows Explorer > Your C drive (Your SSD) > Right click > Properties > General > Disk Cleanup. There you will see a window with options below. Look what's the biggest file there, if you see like 5GB+, then it needs to be deleted. To delete all of these files, check every single box then click "OK" in the bottom right corner. It will give you another window, just click "Delete Files" then wait for that to finish. If you did not understand, watch this video from 4:04 - 4:35. This will do the trick :)
My read speed is at 3450s but my write has gone down from 1900 to 400 to 700, do u know why this could happen, I have a PRIME x470-pro and the ssd I use is a Sabret Rocket Q 1 tb
Honestly, write speeds have never been stable so don't expect to have stable write speeds cuz they fluctuate a lot, don't expect write speed to stay stable at 2000 MB/s. If you are writing something big to the SSD for a long time, the write speed drops cuz the SSD heats up and at some point the write speed drops. That doesn't necessarily happen everytime but it happens quite a lot if you're writing something big at the SSD for long periods of time. Pretty sure you know what i mean. I think that's the issue you're having
@@alextutorials ok tysm
Glad i could help :D
My 240 MB (company write speed is 500 MB and i get 284) ssd was running slow half of its speed, so i checked optimiz option and it had been on for 3 months and had been optinmized automaticy & i didnt notice. So the damage already done. now i off the optimize option but dont think i will get my real speed back ever. help man if u have any solution. pardon my English.
You have a SATA 2 cable connected to your SSD and that's why you are getting half the speed
there is retrim does it still damage it i mean its not the same thing as defragmenting like hdd
First of all "retrim" does not exist, TRIM is what you mean, second of all your other comment got deleted so as to keep everything in one comment and not spam. Anyways, why would TRIM damage your SSD when it's an SSD feature lol? It is kinda the same thing as defragment but defragment just puts the lost files in the correct place where they should be. TRIM on the other hand deletes files that are not being used by the SSD anymore and that can free up space. I mean, it's pretty much self-explanatory so yeah. That's basically it.
so my ssd never said its been defrag or optimized in the optimization menu under my disk should i run a weekly optimization first then turn it off or keep it off?
I said in the video turn it off, so turn it off completely and never enable it because SSDs have their own optimization feature called TRIM, so no need to defrag the SSD since it also decreases it's lifespan
@@alextutorials that's what I heard too on someone's comment in another video, really helpful and I needed to hear someone else say it too
@@loop5720 Yea i know. If anyone says that if you disable defragmentation it disables the TRIM function as well, they obviously don't know anything about computers, here's why. If you go to your SSD's software and you look for a setting called "TRIM" it will say "TRIM Enabled" even with defragmentation disabled. A different way to check if TRIM is Enabled is to open CMD as administrator and if you copy paste this command to cmd "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" and you hit Enter, if the results is like that "NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled)" then TRIM is enabled, do not get tricked because on CMD it says (Disabled) it's actually enabled. If you get in the results at the the number 1 (Enabled) then the TRIM function is disabled, so yea. I mean, if you want to check about TRIM if it's disabled or not, here's a link to a website. www.windowscentral.com/how-ensure-trim-enabled-windows-10-speed-ssd-performance. People can come argue with me that if you disable defragmentation the TRIM function gets disabled, bullshit, i know my stuff and not only me, almost everyone at the internet as well.

@@alextutorials Not much difference in ssd since I never really had a problem with it. It did help me free up 4 or 5 Gb . Now I will test out fortnite and minecraft to see any FPS difference and input response.
@@arvaan4196 The difference will be mostly the CPU cuz that virus was aiming for the CPU and not for the SSD/HDD. I mean, 4-5 GB is quite a lot if you ask me. OK bud, once you test it out, let me know!
My ssd speed was normal (about 500) and after i do this steps read speed increases to 1100 and write speed to 2000😐 could it be harmful for my SSD?
You do not have an SSD, you probably have an NVMe M.2 SSD cuz SSDs the maximum read and write speeds are around 500-550MB/s and the maximum speeds for NVMe M.2 SSDs are around 1.100MB/s for write and read speeds around 2.500MB/s or so so don't worry, it's all good
Why turn off sysmain?
I mean well why do you think i have disabled it lol.
Still have it disabled to this day
Yo, I have a question, whenever I go to Optimize Drives and it always say needs optimization, every time I always check, it doesn’t tell me when was the last time I optimized the SSD, it sometimes say need optimization
Well, idk how to fix that tbh. If you try and run it right now, does it say when it was last ran?
Hold on
Damn that was a fast ass response lol, waiting...
I did all your steps but the issue is that the current status for optimization says need optimization, I already putted the thing but idk why though
Can u try to find why is it happening
Did u have Tips for MAC OS also
No unfortunately i do not
hey u said disable defragment; but can u trim ssd? does trim deletes files?
also what is fsutil command; what is the use?
Your SSD trims itself automatically and disabling defragment will not change the TRIM command at all, it will work like nothing happened. TRIM deletes unwanted files or in other words useless files that take up space. Yes it deletes files BUT not personal files.
The command fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify basically checks if the TRIM command is enabled or not and if it enabled, it will show up as "0" and if it's disabled, it will show up at "1"

@@sarveshm6779 Well first things first, how many years is this particular SSD? SSDs have 3-5 year warranty and tbh if it's still in warranty, you can take it to the manufacturer or a certified repair shop if you'd like and they can have your SSD checked and fixed (if possible). The way you told me that you get BSODs, inaccessible files, SSD freezing in general etc etc, that just means that your SSD is slowly dying because this many issues on a single drive is a warning and it tells you that your SSD is going to die soon BUT that could not be it, that could simply be that Windows itself is having problems. What i suggest you to do is you either do a fresh/clean install of Windows on that same drive, use it for a couple of days and see it the problem still occurs or if it's still in warranty, take it to a repair shop to get your SSD checked out but if your SSD is old af for example like 5+ years, then buy a new one tbh, they are not that expensive nowadays.
Yea i know you may not like the idea of doing a fresh install of Windows on your SSD but you gotta do it if it's your last resort. You wouldn't like your SSD die out of nowhere just like that with all your files in it, that would be horrific. So yeah, do what i said.
And to answer your question if you need to optimize your SSD and how to do it, dude, you are on my video called 4 steps to optimize your SSD, just follow the steps and it could speed it up a little.
@@alextutorials yes, thanks for the detailed answer. I think i need to reinstall windows; and will check if problem persists; actually i bought it in 2019; so i guess its still in warranty; but right now I dont want to take it to the manufacturer or a repair shop; coz its still lockdown here and also its a time consuming process; also, i have tried a couple of tweaks from ur video but that inaccessible files problem still occured today only; and one last thing I want to ask is it ok to clean format ssd drives; just the way we do it for hdd; will take a backup first and then format each drive one by one. Thanks for the help and advice; actually I've asked this question in many forums; but no apt reply; Thanks very much.
@@sarveshm6779 I always try to give out detailed answers to people in need :). Oki dokie, if you try reinstalling Windows and all that and you still see that the problem persists, it's best to take it to a repair shop because it will be a huge hassle fixing nothing and just wasting time your time but do as you wish ofc. About the inaccessible part, i don't think that any of my tweaks would make a difference in your inaccessible files issue because that's a different story.
And yes ofc it's totally safe and OK to format your SSD like we do on HDDs, it won't make a difference. It's still a storage device so yeah. The same goes with NVMes etc etc.
I've had your forum issue many times fr, asking for something simple or complicated and get 0 answers. Why? because either people cba to write the solution or they actually don't know the solution. It's completely irritating. Anyways, i am here for everything you may need so if you have any other issues, feel free to ask me here or sent an email on my email that i have on the About section on my channel and we can talk there, your choice
My NvME SSD is getting up to 880 MB/S reeding speed, but this is only 4/1 speed of its actual... I have done the settings you recommend on here, but it is still the same. What should i do?
Can you tell me what's your motherboard and what's your NvME SSD? Thank you
@@alextutorials Hello my friend, my motherboard is Gigabayte H310m S2H 2.0, and the SSD is SanDisk Extreme Pro 500GB M.2 NVMe 3D SSD. Thank you.
@@byEnesTalha Honestly, you have 4x the speed of my SSD and your NvME is at really good speeds. I cannot give you a straight answer to why it does not run at full speed but there are some things to look at for.
1. Have you installed the latest drivers for the NvME?
2. Your NvMe is an NvME SSD so it probably runs at SATA speeds, not sure
3. If you have other storages such as a secondary SSD or Hard Drive, they may be sharing the speeds to each other and that limits the NvME speed going to full speed.
4. The speed may be limited cuz the port itself is an PCIe 2.0 and not 3.0
Honestly, it could be many things and i cannot tell you an exact answer. Can you go to your BIOS and look for a setting about NvME speeds or ports speeds?
@@alextutorials I have checked every settings on BIOS, i have done every updates, (bios and the offical driver updates of my ssd) but still it is the same. I use only NvME SSD, not any other drives. Windows settled on this SSD, all my games and softwares are settled in here. Now i checked, my motherboard's M2 slot supports PCI 2. Gen, i guess i found the main reason. :) I didn't know PCI 2. Gen slots not allow to max speed of NvME SSDs. Or i assume that the other probable reason may be my CPU, i use i3 9100f and this CPU doesn't support 3000MHz ram frequncy, now i guess it also doesn't support 3,5 GB Read Speed SSDs. That's what i understand from the situation.
@@byEnesTalha Now i get it, the main reason is your port. So your M.2 is a PCIe 2.0 x2 which the maximum speed as it says on this website (www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Overview-of-M-2-SSDs-586/ Look at the graph below) is 800MB/s whereas the PCIe 2.0 x4 is 1.6GB/s and so on. And if you look at your motherboards website it says "1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe x2 SSD support)", you see that it says "PCIe x2" so it uses the PCIe x2 speed which as i mentioned above, the max speed is 800MB/s, so that's why your NvME SSD doesn't run at 3.4GB/s as your NvME specs say. I don't know that if you had gotten just a plain NvME and not an NvME SSD, the speeds could've been different cuz your motherboard says at the end of the sentence i pasted here says "...and PCIe x2 SSD support" so i think if you had gotten a plain NvME, the speeds could've been higher, i could be wrong but that's what i understand. Honestly, i'd just stick to 880MB/s cuz it's still a high speed at the end of they day. I have a Samsung 860 EVO connected to a SATA 2 port (my motherboard does not support SATA 3) and the max speed i get is 284MB/s. If i had gotten 880MB/s, i would still be happy even if it does not hit max speed, so you just have to stick with that speed for now
THIS ACTUALLY WORKED???
YEAH IT DID???
Jk, yeah it does lol
Can this possibly make downloads faster because my SSD is slow to me for some reason.
From where did you come up with this rumour? No it's not even possible, SSDs only Read/Writes stuff and does not make "downloads" faster. If your SSD is slow, follow my video and it will help you
i applyed the setting and my pc runs slower , what can i do ?
Well no, that cannot happen after applying settings that would make your SSD faster.
Try reverting the settings one by one to see which setting makes your SSD slower. If you found that settings, let it default and let the other settings to what i showed in my video
win 2004 has the problem ,it automatically defragrate ssd while booting everytime . how it will sort?
No PC nor Windows defrags the SSD at booting.... who told you that? If it was true, boot times would be 5-10 mins long. I have no clue where you heard/seen that but it's very wrong
@@alextutorials plz read the article
Did a quick google search and that's a bug that the build 2004 has. I did not know it till now. That's why people never update to the new builds of Windows cuz you get bugs like these and in order to fix them is to roll back to the previous build. To fix this, the only way is to roll back to the previous build or wait for the fix which could take a few days i don't know. Do what you want bud. Whenever a new build of Windows rolls out, i always wait at least 2 months for Microsoft to fix the bugs that new builds has
My nvme shows current mode pcie 3.0x2 but supported mode is 3.0x4 . Due to this I am getting just half the speed . Please help
Well i cannot really help you at that because I've never had a PCIe 3.0 ports and cannot help you at that unfortunately. First of all has my video decreased your speed?
@@alextutorials no it's the same as before
@@abhishek8227 Also I'm currently abroad so replying speeds may be slow.
That other x2 speed may be limited by your other components or your NVMe storage drive itself, not sure
I have heared that windows khows it an ssd and it does not defrag it it performes other optimizations for it
thats why it give warning there your drive need optimization
he may be correct because windows has bad image that it defrag ssds so till now they must have solved this bug in w10 and thats why it says to opttimise drive ???
Um no, i'm not a Windows 10 expert but Windows 10 does not know if it's an SSD or not (Task Manager knows though) and it will still defrag it no matter what.
Try using a Virtual Machine, install Windows 10 on that VM, head straight to the defragment section and you will see that it says that it will defrag in the next day or next week so what you said is not true
hello! is this okay to do on a dram-less ssd?
Hello hello!
Um, actually, I'm not quite sure about this so i cannot really answer that unfortunately. It's best to leave it as is it to not do any damages cuz dram chips are quite important so yeah. I mean if you want, you can apply the changes and see for youself if it improves performance or not but i will not be responsible if anything happens to your SSD
Followed all the steps and only increased it by 1 MB/s Im not even kidding
I mean, 1MB/s is technically nothing but not all SSDs are meant to have a huge difference after those settings are applied
is this step is safe and not make your device broken for a long term?
Huh? What are you saying? If it wasn't "safe" i wouldn't have made a video on it....
What if I’m using a SSD ANd a HDD, should I still do these changes?
Only on the SSD, if you have 2 operating systems it's still a no. I mean, the title says "SSD" so you can do the changes regardless if you have an HDD. I have an SSD and HDD as well and i have applied these settings only on my operating system which is on my SSD whereas my HDD is just storage so yea.
@@alextutorials how do I make my ssd the operating system?
@@Roomy_21 Well if you have installed Windows on your HDD, then you have made a mistake. To make your Windows to be set in your SSD, unfortunately you have to completely reinstall your Windows on your SSD, unless you have your Windows installed on your SSD and you don't know idk
@@alextutorials will my ssd be wiped if I do this? What about the HDD?
@@Roomy_21 Well, i did not even get a notification for your reply, i'm really sorry bud, did not even see it. To answer your question, if you reinstall Windows on your SSD then ofc it has to be wiped and the same goes with your HDD i think
Will this work for nvme ssd as well?
It's technically an SSD so it should work just fine, haven't tried it myself because i have never owned an NVMe SSD before but since it's still an SSD, it should work as a normal SSD
Can I also do these to an hdd?
Nah not really. This video is specifically for SSDs so don't use these methods on HDDs
Bruh I accidentally defragmented my ssd few times 😳😳 am I gonna be in trouble?
Yea police is gonna come to your house and arrest ya... Nah man ofc not lol. If you have defragged it a few times and not like 50+ times and you have defragged it like 10 times, then all good don't worry
Thanks a lot, my laptop becomes faster
Glad i could help :D
Works with windows 11?
Yes it does
does this work for m.2 ?
Wait wtf, i replied to your comment when you posted your comment but now i see nothing got posted, i apologize about that.
What i said was that i am not sure, i haven't never owned an M.2 before so i am not sure. I mean you own an M.2 yourself so why not try the methods for your M.2 and leave your thoughts if your M.2 got improved in terms of speed etc etc
Are you in a hurry or am i watching fast forward video just saying.
I am mostly in an hurry on some of my videos, but on this particular video, i do not remember if i was in a hurry or not. I also talk fast so that's why its 4 mins, most people do like short videos and not longer ones, but it's personal preference to be honest
@@alextutorials i like these fast and to the point thank you!
@@Art-Sin not only you like short videos, i do as well and millions of people so yea. Glad i could help :D
@@alextutorials it's good keep it fast.
I don't need trashy long video.
Someone made an video 13mins long about ssd when it's supposed to by 2mins and its irritating he keeps repeating the same meaning sentence over and over.
@@winglau3128 I feel ya i feel ya, i have been in this situation multiple times and you can't miss it easily but yeah i try to make my vids as short as possible so as not to waste ppls time
Oh my bad i kept on defragging my ssd everytime a play games
Wait what? You were defragging your SSD EVERY TIME you played a game? Bro you have fucked up your SSD if you actually defragged it every time you played a game but hey as long as it works just fine, then there is nothing to worry about (for now)
@@alextutorials yeah it still works tho, now that i saw this tutorial i stopped defragging it thanks men💖
@@clericksaragena4358 Well yeah it would still work ofc lol but something to keep in mind as well is that defragging is only for HDDs and not for SSDs cuz SSDs as i said in the video, have NAND flash chips in them so yeah. Keep that in mind. Of course though defragging will not make your SSD die in a few months, it will decrease it's lifespan which is something to worry about (not sure by how much it decreases the lifespan, it must be a very very small amount but still) so defragging it like 5-10 times in total, you shouldn't worry about it
@@alextutorials will i get improvements after i stopped defragging my ssd? Or nothing will happen?
@@clericksaragena4358 Not sure, it will definitely be a little bit faster than before in terms of read/write speeds and some small improvements how the SSD works in the background but that's about it really. You may/may not see improvements with your naked eye but in background there will be improvements. As you see in the comments section, many people have had great results with my vid and yours should too but ofc this video may not work for EVERYONE but for most of them will do, not sure about you but you should see small improvements
i run minecraft on 90 fps now ty
Huh? Improving your SSD performance does not improve FPS in ANY way. SSDs just give you faster loading times lol
@@alextutorials chuck loading and 5-6 frames more than i usually get or maybe just coincidence idk
@@noobyestonytalt2769 Nope, it's just purely coincidence. The chunks are being loaded by the GPU and not the SSD. The SSD will just give you faster loading/cutscreen times, that's it.
@@alextutorials man quick reply what country u in?
@@noobyestonytalt2769 Yea i know lol, many peeps tell me that. I mean, does it really matter where i'm from?
