• Ensure the SSD is connected to the fastest compatible interface on your motherboard (e.g., SATA III 6Gbps or a suitable PCIe Gen3/Gen4 M.2 NVMe slot). Consult your motherboard manual for the optimal slot.
• Verify that AHCI mode is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI (for SATA SSDs) or NVMe mode is correctly configured.
• Make sure the operating system correctly recognizes the SSD and has TRIM enabled (modern OS usually enable it automatically). You can check TRIM status using system tools or Hanye’s management software (if available).
• Keep your operating system and motherboard chipset drivers updated.
• Avoid filling the SSD completely; leaving some free space (10-15% recommended) for garbage collection and wear leveling helps maintain performance and endurance.
• Periodically check for and update the SSD firmware (if Hanye provides an update utility). Visit the Hanye official website support page for relevant information and tools.
