My SSD has 21GB of data on it (OS and programs) and 91GB remain available. My question is: is it safe to set (activate) over provisioning on the SSD in hindsight, after the data above is aleady installed? I don't know where my data is located, or if it is scattered over the whole SSD. I don't want to risk losing data in the OP process. I do keep regular drive backups. Thanks and appreciation for your help.	braindead (1685)
