Doesn't Notice SSD Benefits

[chimpanzee]

don't expect miracle. For your usage, the advantage of SSD would be no moving parts and most likely more battery life.

If that is not what you want, it may be a better idea to just sell it and go back to HDD if you still haven't feltl the 'wow' factor. No tweaking would help and even if there is, it would help HDD as well so the net net would still be the same 'how come I don't feel the SSD benefit'.

Yeah . At least there's should be noticeable difference in booting time. I tried the "boottimer" and would get about 55sec (I dont know if that includes both shutdown and restart). Don't know if there's just too much programs running at startup.

Heres a link to speed up windows 7 (claimed)

Give CCleaner a try and click tools and then the startup tab,,,could be excess drivers hogging resources,,can simply from there stop them from startup with windows, wont stop them from being used manually.

Are those the time when the desktop appears?
The boottimer program seems to wait for all the processes.

For an SSD, the time when you can click on the start button is the most important. Who cares if there are still 100 tasks that is loading ? In the case of HDD, it would be an issue as your HDD may have a long queue(with the head swinging all over the place) but SSD with its super low latency would just happily load whatever you want right away.

It is meaningless to compare time of boot timer(other than for comparing purpose), it is how fast you can get to your work that counts, productivity wise.
