Wish List Item Directed to OS & MOBO Creators
Current solid state drives need 'time to themselves' to do automatic garbage collection. Crucial recommends 6-8 hours (sounds like the hours when I'm getting some shut-eye) for the process to work.
Perhaps I don't understand what goes into operating system and motherboard design, but to me it makes sense for a user in 2014 to be able to select an overnight system setting that would provide power to any installed SSD's so they could optimize their performance, that would simultaneously deny power to other parts of the system like the processor and monitor that are power consumers and that might be spared wear-and-tear by the setting during the SSD optimization process.
Has this already been thought through and implemented or does it have lower priority than pretty, semi-transparent, pulsating tile icons? If it has, I have yet to find the search terms that point me to the solution.
Running the system with the BIOS setup screen burning into the monitor seems primitive to me.
thanks
