SSD or HD for Win7

The rule of thumb is to minimize programs that write to the SSD, as the lifespan of these drives is measured in write cycles. Find every OS resource that needn't be changed -- importantly, forever & ever, rewrite Windows for its original deviancy from DOS and into Microsoft's all-encompassing C:\WINDOWS default environmental containment (SUBST or SHARE were chewed into mince by networking clouds) -- then take that baby, tag all the files if not better, the SSD's entire drive's write tag then for READ ONLY, make one monstrously big NUL file to similarly take up the rest of the drive, and put a residual normally reserved for conventional manipulations aside on a platter drive. Rest is just averages across largely read operations during a two-drive load. Hells bells, Ringo, might only add a few acceptable seconds to the mantra of 7-sec OS loads, so highly touted by SSD owners, those whom aren't experiencing any trouble from clogged electrons in the early scheme of drives physically differing from direct processor addressed system memory;- Whilst that lasts -- platters may be headed down the Road of Obsolesce. |
