The WD SSD Dashboard is a free tool designed to optimize and diagnose Western Digital SSDs. The program allows us to view data about the device in S.M.A.R.T technology, as well as to diagnose the data carrier and anticipate its possible failure. It offers firmware upgrades, permanent deletion of data (e.g.

when a SSD is sold), as well as access to a wide range of detailed information such as capacity, volumes created, temperature, interface speed and expected life. The options responsible for disk performance include performance measurement - transfer rate (MB/s (megabytes per second) and IOPS (number of I/O operations per second)). From the WD SSD Dashboard it is possible to activate the TRIM function in Windows, which releases memory on the SSD that was used by deleted files.
