5. Održavanje

To maintain the health and performance of your SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD, it is recommended to:

• Use SanDisk SSD Dashboard: Download and install the SanDisk SSD Dashboard software from the official SanDisk website. This tool provides health monitoring, firmware updates, and performance optimization features.
• Izbjegavajte defragmentaciju: Unlike HDDs, SSDs do not benefit from defragmentation. It can reduce the lifespan of the drive.
• Ensure TRIM is Enabled: TRIM helps maintain SSD performance over time. Most modern operating systems enable TRIM by default for SSDs.

6. Otkrivanje problema

Spore performanse:

If you experience slower-than-expected performance, consider the following:

• SATA port: Ensure the SSD is connected to a SATA III (6 Gb/s) port on your motherboard for maximum speed. Connecting to an older SATA II port will limit performance.
• Vozači: Verify that your motherboard's SATA drivers are up to date.
• Status TRIM-a: Check if TRIM is enabled for your SSD.
• Sistemski resursi: Other system components (CPU, RAM) can impact overall performance. Ensure they are not bottlenecks.

Disk nije otkriven:

If the SSD is not detected by your system:

• Kablovske veze: Double-check that the SATA data and power cables are securely connected to both the SSD and the motherboard/power supply.
• Postavke BIOS-a/UEFI-ja: Enter your system's BIOS/UEFI settings and ensure the SATA port the SSD is connected to is enabled.
• Inicijalizacija/Formatiranje: For new drives, ensure it has been initialized and formatted via Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
