Question: Hi! A few months ago ( exactly 3 months ago ) my ssd drive started to make some strange noises. Also from this time it started slowing down when i’m installing some massive programs like 20 gb. Sometimes it even slowed down my os to that point i wasn’t able to move my mouse or close program for few seconds and sometimes it showed to me bsod. When it start to make these noises I notice in task manager that my average reply time even gets to like 4000 ms, reading speed slows down and me disc gets to 100% For now I tried to:

Also I forget to tell you that my ssd drive has a little above 3 years
Answer:Do a secure erase on your SSD to put it back to a factory condition, albeit with 3 years of use on it. An SE can make a real difference after a long period of time. Also, insure that it never gets too full (shoot for 80% tops).
