Hey Guys,

Just installed a 64GB Kingston SSDNOW V100 as my system disk...
Been searching the web regarding what optimisations to use etc...

Looking in "Services.msc" Prefetch & superfetch were left on by default... do i need to turn these off and what other things are you SSD users using to get the most out of them?

Cheers for the info! :toast:
