6-26 Chapter 6: Solid State Drive Optimization
Will my 34nm Intel SSD see a performance increase immediately after running the Intel® SSD
Optimizer?
Generallyyes,howeveritwillheavilydependonthepriorstateofthedrive.Ifthe
driveisencounteringslowingperformanceduetoheavyusage,performance
shouldquicklyreturntooutofboxlevelsafterrunningtheIntel®SSDOptimizer.
However,ifthedrivehasseenlittleusagepriortorunningtheInt
el®SDD
Optimizer,youmaynotnoticeasubstantialperformanceincreasesincethedrive
isalreadyoperatingatornearoptimalperformancelevels.Frequentuseofthe

drive.
If I never delete files from my system will I see a benefit from the Intel® SSD Optimizer?
WhilethereshouldstillbesomebenefitrelatedtoOSlevelcleanupofte

tempdirectories,andinstallers,theIntel®SSDOptimizerwillresultinhigher
levelsofperformanceifunwantedfilesaredeleted.Inordertoseethemost

Is the Intel® SSD Optimizer supported under Linux?
Notatthistime,howeverIntelisactivelyworkingwiththeLinuxcommunityto
enablesupportfortheIntel®SSDOptimizerintheLinuxstoragedrivers.We 
expectsupporttobeavailablesoon;thus,wehavenoplanstocreateaversionof
