Windows 7 – Ultimate SSD Speed Tweaks – <\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
Increase System Speed<\/strong>
\nDisable indexing<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> Indexing creates and maintains a database of file attributes. This can lead to multiple small writes when creating\/deleting\/modifying files. Searching for files will still work.
\nInstructions:<\/strong>Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services – > Right-Click Windows Search -> Startup type: Disabled -> OKDisable defragmentation<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> Defragmenting a hard disk’s used space is only useful on mechanical disks with multi-millisecond latencies. Free-space defragmentation may be useful to SSDs, but this feature is not available in the default Windows Defragmenter.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services – > Right-Click Disk Defragmenter -> Startup type: Disabled -> OK<\/p>\n

Disable Write Caching<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> There is no cache on the SSD<\/acronym>, so there are no benefits to write caching. There are conflicting reports on whether this gains speed or not.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Disk drives -> Right-Click STEC PATA -> Properties -> Policies Tab -> Uncheck Enable write caching -> OK<\/p>\n

Configure Superfetch<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> Frees up RAM by not preloading program files.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> On second glance, I would recommend leaving this one alone. However, there are some customizations that you can follow in the post below.<\/p>\n

Firefox – Use memory cache instead of disk cache<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> If you use Firefox, there’s a way to write cached files to RAM instead of the hard disk. This is not only faster, but will significantly reduce writes to the SSD<\/acronym> while using the browser.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Open Firefox -> Type about:config into the address bar -> Enter -> double-click browser.cache.disk.enable to set the value to False -> Right-Click anywhere -> New -> Integer -> Preference Name “disk.cache.memory.capacity” -> value memory size in KB. Enter 32768 for 32MB, 65536 for 64MB, 131072 for 128MB, etc. -> restart Firefox<\/p>\n

Free up extra drive space<\/strong>
\nDisable the Page File<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> Eliminate writing memory to the SSD<\/acronym>, free over 2GB of disk space. Warning – If you run out of memory the program you’re using will crash.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Settings (Performance) -> Advanced Tab -> Change -> Uncheck Automatically manage -> No paging file -> Set -> OK -> Restart your computer
\nAlternatively, if you want to play it safer, you can set a custom size of 200MB min and max.<\/p>\n

Disable System Restore<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> Don’t write backup copies of files when installing new programs or making system changes. Can free up between a few hundred MB to a couple GB. Warning – Although unlikely, if a driver installation corrupts your system, there won’t be an automatic way to recover.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> System Protection Tab -> Configure -> Turn off system protection -> Delete -> OK<\/p>\n

Disable Hibernate<\/strong>
\nDescription:<\/strong> You may free up 1GB of space on the SSD<\/acronym> if you have 1GB of memory, 2GB of space if you have 2GB memory. You will lose the hibernation feature which allows the equivalent of quick boots and shutdowns.
\nInstructions:<\/strong> Start Menu -> Type cmd -> Right-Click the cmd Icon -> Run as Administrator -> Type powercfg -h off -> Type exit<\/p>\n
