6. Konserwacja

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Intel SSD, consider the following maintenance practices:

• Włącz TRIM: Upewnij się, że funkcja TRIM jest włączona w systemie operacyjnym. TRIM pomaga dyskowi SSD wydajniej zarządzać danymi, zapobiegając spadkowi wydajności z upływem czasu. Większość nowoczesnych systemów operacyjnych domyślnie włącza funkcję TRIM dla dysków SSD.
• Unikaj defragmentacji: Do not defragment an SSD. Defragmentation is designed for traditional hard drives and can reduce the lifespan of an SSD without providing any performance benefit.
• Aktualizuj oprogramowanie sprzętowe: Okresowo sprawdzaj wsparcie firmy Intel website for firmware updates for your SSD model. Firmware updates can improve performance, stability, and compatibility.
• Monitoruj stan dysku: Use S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) tools to monitor the health and status of your SSD. Many operating systems or third-party utilities offer this functionality.
• Utrzymuj wolną przestrzeń: While not strictly necessary, keeping some free space on your SSD (e.g., 10-15%) can help maintain performance, especially for drives with less over-provisioning.
