I’m looking for recommendations on the best duplicate finder for SSD drives. I want something that’s fast, safe, and won’t put unnecessary wear on my SSD. There are so many tools out there—some look outdated, and others seem too aggressive. Has anyone found a reliable solution that scans efficiently and offers smart duplicate detection (like image or file similarity, not just exact matches)? Preferably something lightweight and easy to use. Free or paid options are both fine—I just want something that works well with SSDs. Appreciate any tips or personal experiences!

For SSDs, it’s important to use a duplicate finder that’s both fast and minimizes unnecessary read/write cycles to avoid extra wear. I’ve had a great experience with the software DuplicateFilesDeleter—it’s lightweight, efficient, and designed to scan quickly without putting too much strain on SSDs.
What I really like is that it goes beyond just exact matches and can detect similar files, which is helpful for photos and documents with minor edits. Plus, the interface is straightforward and easy to use, so it’s great for both beginners and advanced users.
If you want something reliable that’s safe for SSDs and smart in detection, I’d definitely recommend giving DuplicateFilesDeleter a try. Would love to hear if others have tried it or other tools optimized for SSDs!
