Will using a program like eraser to zero free space on my solid state hard drive make it faster?
Dave F asked:
I have an older SSD, and it seems to be very slow lately. I’ve heard that newer ssd’s have support for the TRIM command, and that windows can clear unused disk space on the SSD while not in use. My drive does not have this command built in, but I’d still like to clear unused disk space and make the drive faster. Would using a program like eraser to set SSD free space to zeroes work the same way as TRIM?
