Check if your SSD is slowing down SSDs can underperform for a few reasons: the storage space on the drive is running out, incorrect Windows settings are interfering, or maybe your SSD's settings just need to be tweaked.

To discern whether the apparent slowdown is real or just all in your head, you can use the free CrystalDiskMark benchmark app to get a clear picture of your current drive speed. (You might also want to do this once a year to catch any slowdowns before you even notice them.)

CrystalDiskMark can show you the sequential read and write rates of your drive, which you can then compare with the manufacturer's specifications. If your drive is operating noticeably slower, then you should move on to the tips below. Otherwise, you're good!

Can't keep track of your streaming shows? This app will help

That's where an app called Trakt comes in. Trakt can tell you where to watch pretty much any streaming show or movie, but it can also remember how much of a series you've watched and keep you in the loop on new episodes.

While Trakt has been around since 2010, it recently added a way to automatically track what you're watching across a half-dozen major streaming services. It's a key differentiator from other streaming guide apps, such as Reelgood and JustWatch, whose show-tracking features require you to manage your watch history manually. The feature is part of Trakt's VIP subscription, which costs $6 per month or $60 per year.

I received a temporary VIP membership to try out the automatic tracking, and while there's bunch more I'd like to see from Trakt before paying that toll myself, it's a promising glimpse at how streaming guides ought to work.
