Hi all
I am currently in the process of renewing my PC and thinking of using a SSD over a HDD. Would it still be OK to use CC to clear all temp files and visited sites etc. I understand that no overwriting is necessary or in fact desired due to wear etc. I have used CC for years and would like to carry on using it on my new PC with a SSD, any info would be great, thanks...
It's still OK to use CCleaner and clean traces on SSD, and as you said, don't use wiping (or wiping free space).
More info here: http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=34924
Thanks for that quick reply, ( very useful info there ) i think as more and more people move over to a SSD the makers of CC should perhaps add a button on the program to enable settings for a SSD, as in the system and advanced cleaning panels there are places that do not need cleaning.
Yes, or auto-detect SSD and disable wiping etc. unnecessary or harmful actions on SSD. Also add chance to enable wiping from options (or advanced options) if needed.
Auto-Detect of SSD would be good,
BUT warning probably essential regardless of detection in view of :-
1. Complaints that some Piriform products make mistakes on SSD/HDD classification with some products,
2. Future SSD products may cause extra confusion.
That's why I suggested an option to enable it if needed, for mistakes in detection.
