• TRIM naredba: Ensure your operating system has TRIM enabled. TRIM helps maintain the performance of SSDs over time by allowing the operating system to inform the SSD which data blocks are no longer in use and can be wiped.
• Izbjegavajte puni kapacitet: While SSDs perform well even when nearly full, maintaining some free space (e.g., 10-15%) can help sustain optimal performance and extend lifespan.
• Sigurnosna kopija podataka: Redovno pravite sigurnosne kopije važnih podataka na drugi uređaj za pohranu. Iako su SSD diskovi pouzdani, nijedan uređaj za pohranu nije imun na kvarove.
