Benefits of consolidate free space?
This might be controversial, but the results surprised me. I was skeptical about the need to Consolidate Free Space in the latest SSD drives. However, I have taken this plunge with both my C300 crucial SSD and my Intel G2 SSD and to my surprise, in both cases there was a substantial improvement in my SSD performances. These results seem in conflict with "conventional wisdom". I am listing the bench results on the crucial drive below. The tests were performed one day apart, before and after running PerfectDisk 11 Consolidate Free Space on the drive. I also have similar results for the Intel G2 drive if anyone is interested. I do recognize that different runs of SSD bench can get different results and I have done two runs pre-and post-free space consolidation to confirm the improvements. I am reluctant to subject my SSD to more bench testing for obvious reasons.
