My task bar icon shows the red ! warning, because I have not allowed Norton to optimize my disk. I have a solid state drive, and all information I have read about this is that a solid state drive should never be optimized. It does not function as a magnetic drive does, and so there is no need to optimize it, and some say it will even damage the drive. At the very least, it will shorten the life expectancy by adding to the cumulative read/write cycles.
This does not interfere with my performance or use of the product, but it does mean that I ignore the red warning on my task bar icon, and thus could overlook a warning that does apply to me. Is there a way to deactivate the optimize disk function or to tell Norton to ignore the fact that it has not been utilized?
