SSDs Maintenance

Regular maintenance tasks to keep your ssds running efficiently.

Check Health and TBW

Monitor the Total Bytes Written (TBW) metric to see how much of the drive's endurance has been consumed. This helps predict when the drive will reach end-of-life.

Update Drive Firmware

Manufacturers release firmware updates to fix bugs, improve speeds, and patch vulnerabilities. Running the latest firmware ensures optimal drive health.

Verify TRIM is Enabled

TRIM helps the SSD efficiently manage space and garbage collection, maintaining read/write speeds over time. Ensure the operating system has this feature active.
