Re: SSD Thread (Benchmarks, Brands, News, and Advice)
There's one.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=422397
but, DON'T follow everything. I disabled write-caching as they said and my random write speed fell to like 4 kbps.

it's not like that is magic.

Two questions:
1)Have you tried it using a Thinkpad or some other computer?
2)Read this from the note of the firmware update:
The solid state drive firmware update utility bootable CD does not support USB optical disc drives, PCMCIA/CardBUS optical disc drives, optical disc drives in a docking station bay, or any other drives other than the optical disc drive in the ThinkPad UltraBay. Other drives will not be updated correctly by this firmware update utility.
So, did you try the firmware using a thinkpad with a drive in ultrabay?

Agreed. Dave is off in regards to how the partition alignments work (sorry Dave  ).
Also, guys, we need reread the old SSD thread, because there are still a number of people in the last two months I believe complaining about W7 NOT turning off the scheduled defragging even if you have an SSD installed, be it the OS drive or not.

Re: SSD Thread (Benchmarks, Brands, News, and Advice)
I think that Win 7 won't turn off defragmentation, it just won't run on SSD, but I like to know it's turned off so I do it manually.
Same with indexing, I don't use it so I turn it off too.
