Thread: Indilinx firmware cleans dirty SSDs, restores performance while idle

You know those unusual, not-at-all well-situated issues that can source convinced solid state drives to delay with wide-ranging use? Thankfully, the engineers at OCZ Technology as well as Indilinx are fed up, as well as somewhat than sitting around doing not anything, they've mutually collaborated on a breakthrough firmware that can really clean as well as repair one's "contaminated" SSD while the drive sits inactive. In short, the firmware initiate the SSD to execute a "garbage collection" procedure in array to lessen the surplus chunk re-writing difficulty, where the drive vigorously seeks as well as eliminate junk that hinders read / write performance when managing little amount of information. And the outcome are downright awful: after presently five minutes of inactive time, the SSD was restored to next to new-fangled, with an hour of downtime being adequate to "completely restore" performance.
