Default Best software for SSD
Hey guys! I'm about to install my first SSD in my system and I am curious to know what are the best maintenance software and what do yo recomend me to do. It's a kingston V+100 64GB.
I read the OCZ guide to disable page file and all these thing but I would like to know what you guys do and what you use.

Thx a lot!

So mostly it's by tweaking windows that you take care of your SSD. I have to admit I thaught it would have been longer. Thx Gingerbee!

Yup. You have a decent SSD there with very aggressive "ITGC", that is also TRIM aware, so it can keep itself nice and fast. Basically, those tweaks REDUCE the number of not needed writes that occur. The name of the game is reducing writes, as you only get 10K per cell (PLENTY) and thus it will last longer, AND be faster as the drive doesnt have to waste controller cycles cleaning up after those useless writes. ;)

TBH you dont have to do them all. I personally turn off defrag, move the pg file to a dif HDD, move FF temp files to ram, turn superfetch to work only on startup progs, turn off indexing and other itty bitty things but thats about it. :)

I use FIREFOX for web-browsing and I assign the "internet cache" to a regular HDD.

SSD tweaks (name of the software) is easy to run...

Just make sure that after all is tweaked, that defrag is really disabled, same for hibernation...

You can just disable Firefox cache. It really has no real affect on performance.

Don't suppose you had them backed up? Using Steams backup and restore feature, a game only takes like 5 minutes to reinstall.
