If you've reduced the amount of your stuff to lets say 1/2 of the drives space then the probability of dropping a file on a block that needs to be moved due to wear is less. Now this gets into a bit of math as to why this is better than just letting it run as it is now.

This is done in background (often called house cleaning) this is the process which is running on the micro-controller in the SSD, a computer within your computer! To lessen its work load we can force the SSD to be completely re-written by erasing the SSD and re-installing the OS and your stuff.

The point I was stating was the way SSD's work forces them to move the data around when you have too little free space so a given area gets over worn. SSD's don't need defragmentation like traditional disk drives. We're unpaid volunteers offering our skills out for free! I still work servicing a few clients and I'm about to retire in a year or so time. Just aim others our way thats all you need to do for payment. Here the act of restoring ignorers the wear factor of the SSD's blocks but it still offers a higher probability of writing the data in better placement statistically speaking! So the clean up time will be less!

While you can run a disk defragment program the defrag program needs space to shuttle the files around so a tight drive will take a very long time! And as you free up space it will be quicker!īut, the quickest way is to wipe and restore! Just the process of doing this lays the files down less fragmented. Think how much faster it is to do this with a traditional spinning disk drive when the drive has become fragmented. So when you free up space on a tight drive (like yours) it will take a bit of time to clean things up (it could take a few days!) Which is why I prefer to make a backup of the drive, wipe it down and re-install the OS and restore the backup.

If you look at how an SSD works it has a dedicated micro processor (ARM) embedded into it which sole job is to keep the drives data organized and move data blocks around so more worn areas are holding more static files (less called for). Your SSD has two thermal sensors one on each side of the drive. Your SSD is running on the hot side it should be running around 90f/32c as I pointed out the wear leveling count is the worrisome value. I hope to use this beauty of a laptop for at least 2 more years. But leaving macOS is not an option for me, and a Hackintosh Laptop is just too unsafe. Looking at the touch bar, butterfly keys and immense raise in price, I find these new MacBooks really unattractive. the CPU activity is low when the machine is hot) I don't want to try every trick I find on the web, I rather get advice from you guys for my specific situation.ġ) Is it worth letting a diagnostic tool run over the Mac to see if the hardware is okay?Ģ) Could the hardware just be worn out like this?ģ) How would you suggest I proceed in order to reduce the heat (remember.

operating system sucks up more performance? (please nooh.).

Processor heat conductive paste worn off?.

Wild guesses on what's causing the heat-issue:

450gig of the 500gig HD is full (but he didn't care about that for years.).I regularly open the back and clean out the dust with a lil camera air blower.

Roughly half a year ago I made a clean install of High Sierra.

On average the machine goes 7-9 hours a day for the last 5 years.

And when with a second screen (full hd) the fan kicks in, although the CPU activity is lower than 15%

Safari, Chrome, Mail, Evernote, Slack, Trello, Mamp Pro, Sublime Text 3, Dash, CodeKit – Dropbox, BetterTouchTool, Bartender 3, Alfred 3įor a couple of years now the system get's annoyingly hot. I'm a webdeveloper and use the following applications on a daily basis: My setup and usage hasn't changed, though. This wasn't the case a year ago, but gradually became worse over the time. The fan goes nuts without any obvious reason (at least to me) just when I plug in an external display.
