Disk indexing is for shortening the time to access files on hard disk drive. But SSD itself has a much shorter response time than HDD, which is about 0.1 ms. Thus there’s no need to enable disk indexing for SSD, it’ll only shorten the lifespan of SDD for nothing.
How to disable Disk Indexing?
Click Computer to open Windows Explorer.
Right click on the SSD partition and choose Properties.
At the bottom of General tab, uncheck "Allow files on this drive to have
contents indexed in addition to file properties".
