A Windows 7 Build with SSD, but a New Way

[Skouperd]

Hi guys, sorry but I have not contributed on this topic yet and felt I just HAD to share my 2cents.

I agree with what you all say about trying to "preserve" your SSDs for as long as possible, but seriously, have a look at the below article:

Given the speed at which SSD's advances, I am pretty convinced nobody would WANT to run their current SSD's in 5 years time any more in any event. I am not so much talking about raw sequential read / writes (which is almost at the liimit of SATA III already), but I recon that the next big advances in SSDs will come from increasing the random read / write speed which is still hovering around SATA I speeds.

I am not proclaiming that you go and write unneccesary stuff to your SSD, but seriously is this worth all the effort?

It's almost no effort at all IMHO (5 minute change) for peace of mind, well for mine at least.

Lee, I am curious about something else, have you ever considered to write your TMP files (and potentially user files) to a RAM Drive?

OK Questions

I have install my SSD it only had Windows and BF3 on it all other programs are on the another Driver and I have a third drive as storage.

So I do Lee's little process except right at the beginning I hit a "problem". You in win explorer it shows my Windows drive as C:, my programs as D: and storage as F:

I had to manually change this in Disk Management because when I installed it randomly chose different letters.

Now when I do the repair and go to command, I ran the line Robocopy exactly as Lee said. But then it said it couldn't find C:\users. I run a simple Dir search and find that c:\ has all the program directories and D: has the windows directories.

So my question is can I just reverse the C: and D: in Lee instructions? I was going to do this but part of the instructions is to delete the users folder which could fuck everything up
