  • @idesignandcreate Ye, superfetch/prefetch only make a small difference but you should disable drive indexing as it causes a lot of small files to be written. but ye it probably only makes a very small difference anyway :)

  • I first did all these optimizations on my first SSD but they caused many problems later on, I dont recommend you mess with indexing or super-fetch unless your SSD is old, someone did a myth busters of these ages ago and found the only useful things are TRIM, AHCI and disable-defragging, the others are all myth based and any updated Windows 7 will have set everything right by default.
