Has anyone seen this SSD guide?

It's interesting that just about everything he suggests is qualified by 'it may or may not be necessary'.

While on that subject, is AHCI necessary? I never noticed my main system (P55 chipset) was not in AHCI mode. And I'm not sure how dangerous/safe it is to change it now.

Depends....if it is going in a laptop....most folks just put everything on the SSD. I have a 256 GB SSD in my thinkpad, so everything goes on the SSD.

On my desktop, I used to have a 160GB SSD...so only Windows and programs went on the SSD...all documents and stuff went on the d drive, which is a hard drive. I now have a 500 GB SSD, but I still put non-programs on the hard drive.

As you know, many laptops come with SSDs only....no need to worry about writes...unless you are doing something waaaayyy outside of normal.

I got my first SSD in Jan 2011...that drive is still working great!

I've just bought my first SSD. Should I be moving folders like Documents and Libraries to another drive? Whats the current status on that? I read it both ways over the last couple of years.

Thanks...Steve
