Windows 7 will disable superfetch (and other high-level caching) on good SSDs automatically, no need to take action. In any case, it's a read operation from the disk perspective, and therefore makes no impact on SSD wear.
Pagefile should also be left enabled. Microsoft has found that pagefile reads outnumber writes 40:1, and that most reads are small and random (things that SSDs do very well), and most writes are large (nearly 50% 1MB in size)--also something that SSDs handle well. If you want your SSD to last 20 years, sure, disable it--but if you want optimal performance, leave it on. The SSD wearout fear for single-user workloads is far overblown. Every consumer SSD failure I've seen yet was due to a firmware crash or some other drive defect--not wear. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Zulfiqar Naushad Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Cloning the HD By the way. Run the Samsung ssd magician software and make sure to optimize your system with it. You must not run a swap drive and also disable prefetch and other services. Otherwise you will prematurely wear out your ssd. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 21, 2012, at 6:35 PM, "Anthony Q. Martin" <[email protected]> wrote: > may have to switch over to that.
