  1. Hello, I've been a CCleaner user for quite some years now and I primarily use it to perform a secure delete (3 passes) when shutting down my computer to clean up my temp folders, browser history and allmost everything else that it's capable of cleaning, enhanced with CEnhanceer. This week I bought a new notebook, which has a hybrid SSD drive. Yesterday I accidentaly bumped on an article that said it's not a good idea to use secure delete on an SSD drive because it can massively reduce the lifetime of the drive. If I didn't accidentaly bumped on the article and bought myself a full SSD drive I might have been doing this without ever knowing, so maybe CCleaner should warn about this. Now my question: Does the SSD rule also apply to hybrid SSD drives? It's a 500GB + 4GB SSD, so 4GB is used as a cache, I assume by the drive itself. Which means there's 500GB that I do like to clean. I searched both these forums and some other websites but was unable to find any information about this.
