With the use of flash memory, newer technology, and no moving parts, it's safe to say that SSDs are much faster than traditional hard disk drives or HDDs. For many #gamers, #contentcreators, and #PC builders, SSDs are an essential part of their desktops and laptops.

Tip #3: Don't fill to full capacity
Try not to use more than 75% of the total capacity to avoid performance issues. Consider upgrading your computer's SSD with a larger drive when getting close to the 75% threshold.
Tip #4 Securely wipe your SSD
An SSD clean requires different tools than a regular hard drive. Some data wipe software consumes a full write cycle to write out the empty space of your SSD and it'll shorten the SSD's life.
