Ah, typical Linux article with an obligatory insult for Windows. Hope OP realizes Windows disables defrag for SSDs, and basically does everything described in the article without needing user intervention.
Next, you don't have to over-provision unpartitioned space AND preserve 20% of partitioned free space. It's one or another, the point is to have enough free space for proper wear leveling.
Hibernation can stay enabled, it just dumps RAM contents into a file, once. SSDs are much more vulnerable to small frequent writes (log files, browser cache, etc) due to write amplification and minimum write size (http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/10126/en/ http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/10126/en/).
- Zr40 11y agoI don't know about earlier Windows, but Windows 8 does not attempt to defragment drives that identify themselves as being solid-state. It does invoke TRIM on drives that advertise that feature, and confusingly, this is done through the same defragmentation UI.
- cabirum 11y agoWhy 'confusingly'? It's only natural to keep drive maintenance in one place. You don't ever need to invoke defrag/trim manually as they are scheduled to run whenever PC is not in use.
- Zr40 11y agoIt's confusing to people who are told to disable defragmentation on SSDs. It's the same button for both HDDs and SSDs, and both TRIM and defragmentation are referred to using the same word, 'optimization'[0]. An unaware user would not know the difference.
