Writing data to an SSD is essentially done in Pages. The Blocks then consist of these pages, and usually have a size of 128KB – 512KB. Pages are made up of cells and typically have a size of 2KB – 4KB. The SLC are the SingleLevelCells (1 bit per cell), the MLC the MultiLevelCells (from 2 bits per cell, but mostly exactly 2 bits and TLC are the TripleLevelCells (3 bits per cell). The manufacturer marks this cell with either SLC, MLC or TLC.
And I’ll explain why defragmenting an SSD is not a no-go, as is still popularly claimed, but on the contrary: the average life of an SSD is extended by defragmentation using the new SOLID method from O&O Defrag 22.Īn SSD consists of cells, pages and blocks. In the remainder of this blog entry, I explain why this behavior slows down not only a classic hard drive but also SSDs and ultimately leads to an unnecessarily early failure of the storage medium. Windows – and in the case of SSDs, the controller of the SSD – distributes files into individual file fragments when saved, in each case in the next free and “suitable” memory sections, called Pages. Our new O&O Defrag 22 Pro is now available with some groundbreaking new features! Introducing the latest version of our tuning application with a new method to optimize the performance and lifespan of SSDs.
