    I've got a question about SSD usage under Windows 7

    I have 2 SSDs in Raid 0 mode using Windows 7 and my WEI score is only 6.9. Shouldn't it be faster?

    Also, I have the option to defrag as well...shouldn't it be greyed out? Mine isn't, I dont think Windows 7 knows i'm using a SSD

    The RAID controller might be hiding details from the OS that allow it to detect that the drive is an SSD. Make sure SuperFetch and Defrag are off.

    I wonder is it just the laptop or is the Kingston SSD degrading rapidly..

    I am looking to get the cheapest 256gb ssd. I was looking at this:
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=341-8981

    But the tech specs show it as sata-150.... which is pathetic. Any other cheap ones anybody found?
    It is not our job here to tell people how to run their computer. It is our job here to help people with their problems. They can run it how they want. If you don't want to help, then just don't post. It's our job to help people if we can. If not, spare everyone the smart remarks and the waste of space. It's ridiculous.

    I think Dell's specs are wrong here. I don't think we ever had 256GB drives on the SATA I bus. I think this is supposed to the be the Samsung PB22-J.

    would i disable it by running "services.msc" and disabling defrag and superfetch?

    Or is there an official way to disable defrag and superfetch?

    I would love for someone to confirm this (if they bought one). Spending that kind of money on a lemon is something I can't do.

    Try downloading Intel Matrix Storage Manager and enable Volume Write-Back Cache.

    I did mine that way.

    Don't worry about Superfetch. I think these SSDs can handle it.
