Due to the fast speed and better performance, many computer users are going to replace their HDD with an SSD. Then, does SSD slow down over time? Yes, SSD will slow down over time, especially when it's filled up. This is because solid-state drives (SSDs) can only write to and store data in empty blocks. If an empty block is not open, the SSD must first erase any data designated as destroyed before populating it with fresh data. One of the reasons the drive slows down is this process.

EaseUS Partition Master Free can apply multiple powerful tools to fix SSD slow-down problems. Read on to learn more free SSD optimization tips.
