  • A two-month-old laptop with a SanDisk SD8SN8U-256G-1006 SSD for its C: drive, Windows 10.
  • Windows had recognized the drive as a standard hard drive, not an SSD, and the laptop had slowed down a lot very recently.
  • Installed the SanDisk SSD Dashboard, ran TRIM, and scheduled weekly TRIM operations.
  • Laptop much faster.
