SSDkeeper Professional

If you own an SSD, then there is a fair chance that you heard that it is not recommended you defragment it, particularly since these drives tend to wear every time they are written accessed. Contrary to popular belief, SSDs also get defragmented by your operating system especially if you enabled Volume Shadow Copy in the Windows System Restore.

SSDkeeper Professional is a tool that bends conventional wisdom and uses a unique, patented write optimization engine to boost the overall performance of the SSD.

The installation is a quick and straightforward process that takes little time and does not require any special attention from your part. While you are not welcomed by the most appealing GUI, the interface is quite responsive and user-friendly, so it is unlikely that you are going to have troubles getting around.

You will be happy to learn that the program displays a summary of the repairs and improvements it performed from the installation date. In case you are just curious about its achievements on a given interval, you can select the day frame from the dedicated scroll-down menu.

The app also provides you with quite a few details about the input/output performance of your SSD, including the IOPS, latency in milliseconds, reading/ writing percentage the MB/sec. At the same time, by accessing the I/O performance, you can check out the DRAM available as well as the free memory used by the cache memory.

It is worth mentioning that the program gives you detailed information on an hourly basis on the operation it performs. If you are curious about the total I/O eliminated, % read or write, then you can check out the Analytics tab to the section that interests you. The reports are displayed as graphs with key metrics.

The utility provides you with comprehensive reports on the procedures performed and the overall status of your solid state drive. However, you should bear in mind that the first report is usually available after 2 or 3 hours after the installation and after restarting the system.

In the eventuality that you want to improve the overall performance of your solid state drive, but are careful not to cause more damage at the same time, then perhaps you can consider using SSDkeeper Professional for this purpose.
