Do You Need to Defragment an SSD? Understanding TRIM and SSD, NVME Optimization
Most of us are too familiar with defragmentation when it comes to maintaining storage drives. For years, defragging hard drives was a go-to solution to keep them fast and organized by placing file fragments closer to improve access speed and system performance. But the rules have changed with the rise of SSDs and the even faster NVMe drives. SSDs don't require traditional defragmentation, and doing so can theoretically reduce their lifespan. Instead, they use a maintenance command called TRIM to manage data efficiently and keep them running at peak performance.

SSD Heatsink Guide: The best cooling options for your NVMe drive
When NVMe heat sinks first hit the market, many of the units included with certain motherboards were gimmicks and actually resulted in higher SSD temperatures. Cooling m.2 drives wasn't really a concern back then, but today's PCI-e Gen 5 SSDs aren't able to sustain their peak performance without some form of cooling. The controller found in many PCI-e 5 SSDs currently on the market is Phison's E26, which has a TJ Max (maximum temperature) of 125C - much hotter than previous generation products.
