amoncur Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I just purchased a 160GB solid state drive for my computer running Windows 7 professional. I understand ssds should be cared for in a slightly different way than standard hard drives. Is it safe to use ccleaner on a ssd?

Moderators Andavari Posted January 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2010 For just straight up normal deleting like what Windows itself does I foresee no problems. However with secure deletion/shredding and wipe free space you should probably look up some docs on the manufacturers website as to what that does to the SSD life expectancy.

ident Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 whats the make/model? Using ccleaner would be 100% safe, you only start getting problems when you write zeros to the drive. If you want to remove everything hit the manufacturers website and check for firmware upgrades etc No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
