SSD Optimization

[Roalith]

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, just thought I'd post this up as a helpful little guide to optimizing SSDs. Have followed it through on several drives myself (OCZ Agility 3 120gb and Vertex 3 60gb, Samsung 830 120gb), must say that for the most part it doesn't seem to make a huge amount of difference. Your mileage may vary

Largely agree with you mikeo - although it does ultimately come down to the individual user's preferences. For me, disabling the recycle bin for example makes sense as I normally only ever shift+delete stuff anyway.

Ensuring system drivers are fully up to date is kinda a no-brainer, and likewise turning off the page file (for systems with 8gb+ of ram) - especially if you're limited to a 60gb drive.

I know it's not really much of a benching tool, but yeah, my latest drive (the Agility 3) scored a 7.6 on the Windows Experience Index prior to these optimisations - it now gets a 7.7. Your mileage may vary
