Deepfreeze and SSD

April 19th, 2014

Hello, i have a question
I have heard that if you want the ssd to be fine for more you should not make a lot defragments.
Having a program like Deepfreeze will be a problem for ssd ?

Answer #1
Yes. You will be not writing once to the drive you’ll be erasing and rewriting the entire number of changes you did to the SSD when you reboot. Avoid them. If you must use a vitualized environment for any purpose run a virtual machine from another drive.
Answer #2
Fragments have nothing to do with an SSD. On a HDD for an example, a runner (person) has to go retrieve data in three places due to fragments, on a SSD it is one person and they are running.
The only reason small writes are bad is due to slow speed of small files and TRIM having to work to clean a block, which in time kills the block and it becomes useless.
Answer #3
Your SSD is going to last you a long time. Don’t worry about it. By the time it dies, you would have a new computer already or enough money to buy a new SSD. I’m using deep freeze on an SSD for several months now and I doubt it will die anytime soon. Didn’t turn off or edit any features such as system restore, and page filing among other stuff people recommend you should do if you have an SSD.

You should not defragment it AT ALL, completetely disable all defragmentation for SSD drives.
Answer #5
ok, i will do it.
I read that i should disable system restore. is there any way to keep the system restore and save it to another hard drive?
Answer #6
Never defrag a SSD and also disable system restore
Answer #7
I can’t see why it would be a good idea to disable system restore..
It doesn’t defrag anything and you would be sorry if you need it and ain’t got it !

Yeah, only reason would be of you don’t want Windows to keep writing data frequently to the drive, but you don’t really have to worry about that. I used to be super paranoid about SSD and tried to keep the writing of data to it to a bare minimum, but then I read about how you could write dozens of gigabytes daily and it would last well over 10+ years. So nothing to worry about.
