Re: [H] SSDs and My Documents
Why ? They run fine. fp At 06:25 PM 5/4/2013, Steve Tomporowski Poked the stick with: 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.

Re: [H] SSDs and My Documents
Oh, I seem to remember that there was a lot of running around in circles and screaming about the limited write lifetime of solid state drive and how you should 'NEVER EVER' use them for data drives. I take it that the screaming has died down? Steve ;-) On 5/5/2013 2:14 AM, FORC5 wrote: Why ?

Re: [H] SSDs and My Documents
Under normal use, an SSD should last at least 3-5 years. It think the only thing you might want to avoid putting on an SSD is a swapfile, and there's even debate over whether that's really a bad thing or not. - Brian On Sun, May 5, 2013 at 6:41 AM, Steve Tomporowski didym...@gmail.comwrote: Oh, I seem to remember that there was a lot of running around in circles and screaming about the limited write lifetime of solid state drive and how you should 'NEVER EVER' use them for data drives.

Re: [H] SSDs and My Documents
Dependsif it is going in a laptopmost 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 onlyno need to worry about writes...unless you are doing something wyyy outside of normal. I got my first SSD in Jan 2011...that drive is still working great!

Re: [H] SSDs and My Documents
Has anyone seen this SSD guide? http://thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-2/ 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.
