Neipas09 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I understand the need to scan regular platter HDD's... but SSD's??? If there's no real reason to scan SSD's, how do i exclude my SSD from the Scanner's automated scanning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Umfriend Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Whether there is a benefit I am not sure about but if you want to disable it, select the disk -> disk settings -> never scan automatically. IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's exactly how to disable it. As for if there is benefit, I'd say there is. The surface scan is a sector by sector read. For an SSD, this doesn't read the platters, but it does read from the NAND flash. If that is having issues, it will show up, all the same. Also, because they're SSDs, the scan should happen a lot faster, and IIRC, there is no real downside to scanning, as it's read only. It's writes that are an issue with SSDs.
