Tweak-SSD

NOTE: This application has been discontinued in July 2021 and is no longer available for purchase! However, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations stated on this page.

Tweak-SSD aims to help you get the most out of your SSD drive by applying several tweaks designed to increase its capabilities and boost its speed.

With respect to HDDs, solid state drives already bring a plus in computing performance, booting time and power draw, but Tweak-SSD is intended for enhancing their features even more.

One of its main advantages is related to ease of use, as activating the system tweaks requires no advanced computer knowledge. Thanks to the comprehensive wizard with automatic suggestions for the best confiuration, a beginner can go through all the steps without getting stuck with complex settings.

The application comes with several optimization options that you can apply. For instance, you can disable the Windows indexing service to avoid unnecessary write actions or activate the 'Prefetch' and 'Superfetch' technologies, which are mainly intended for solving performance issues on regular hard disks.

Keeping the core system files in the memory while the system is running can increase the computer's response time, while enlarging the disk caching capabilities reduces read and write access to the SSD.

You can limit the NTFS memory usage or deactivate the hibernation state in order to save disk space and lower the additional write operations on the SSD. File date stamping and boot time defragmentation should be disabled for the same reason.

The application also comes with options related to the system page file, delete notifications, as well as TRIM performance optimization.

Once you go through all these options, the system optimization status increases, as shown within the main window of the application.

The main purpose of Tweak-SSD is to increase your SSDs reliability and prolong its life by limiting the read and write access. It does not require expert skills and brings together variate tweaking possibilities within an intuitive interface.
