SpinRite has been significantly improved

SpinRite restores SSD performance
The biggest surprise was discovering that even solid state mass storage could benefit from SpinRite's rewriting of its media. Due to “read disturb”, SSD and Flash storage slow down when they are only read and never written -- which affects most operating system files. People say that their SSD-based laptops no longer perform as well as they once did -- now we know why.
During the 3.5 years of work on v6.1, we discovered that SpinRite could restore SSD original factory performance.

I'm stunned. I bought my copy 20 years ago. This was great software a long time ago and I thought it would never be updated. Can't wait to try it out.
