Why SSD care matters
SSDs are reliable, but a few habits extend their life significantly.
Keep free space
Never fill an SSD beyond 85% capacity. Overprovisioning keeps write amplification low.
Enable TRIM
Open Command Prompt as admin and run fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify — a result of 0 means TRIM is on.
Avoid unnecessary writes
Move downloads and media libraries to a secondary HDD where possible.
