Hi there,
As you all know by now SSD drives are slowly creeping more and more in to the lower cost market so almost everyone wants to get one. They are supposed to be faster and more reliable. There are issues however and i thought we might discuss some of these issues here. Apparently there is no 'Computer' place on ET yet so we would have to talk about it in this area.
I've found some issues with XP such as where it's a good idea to set a certain size offset on the drive before installing the XP operating system. I think SP2 is a min too with these. With Win7 i think most of the issues have been addressed in the install program for that op sys.
It seems that due to the limited number of writes per SSD cell it is a good idea to turn some things off and move some files and folders to other mechanical platter type drives.
Questions come up such as how to move the recycle bin, but i've found out that this is one thing that doesnt really have to be moved.
Any other stuff you care to add would be nice to talk about here.
