I installed an SSD and I understand that defrag and scandisk can actually be bad. I have a disk that I understand doesn't support 'TRIM' (kingston V series SSD). How do I make sure these programs are disabled to ensure that my computer runs optimally
1. Windows 7 will not defrag SSD drives. This is by M$ design. 2. You should not disable scandisk (chkdsk), The purpose of chkdsk is to check & fix corrupted operating system files when found. It doesn't cause any degradation to the SSD.
3. The first generation of Kingston V series SSD does not include TRIM. TRIM is included only in the second-generation Kingston SSDNow V Series released in February 2010,i_Xp/Vista/W7User
