Why not just turn off hibernation? With an SSD, should only take you max 10 seconds to boot.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Wednesday, 11 May 2011 3:37 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: SSD minimum size question A colleague recently bought a desktop built by a local computer shop, and was talked into a 60Gb SSD drive as his system boot - his intuition was to go for 120Gb. No problems until he tried to install the SP1 of Windows 7 Ultimate, when Microsoft assistance calls still couldn't solve why it failed to install. It turns out his 60Gb drive is 55Gb only, and he had 47Gb used. So he moved all his special folders off to another drive, and I suggested he change the swap file to another drive too. The hibernate file apparently can't be moved. Anyway, this just an interim strategy until he gets SP1 of Windows 7 installed. Then I guess he can put the swap file onto the SSD to get performance back. It raises the question to me of what size system drive - SSD or other - is optimum (and how the hell do you decide on that)? ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
