I have heard that Windows 7 is optimized for SSD drives. Do you guys have windows 7 on SSD?
I would like to hear any experiences concerning SSD.

I am running Windows 7 with solid state drives and the speed is really wonderful.

In windows 7, SSD has good performance and Superfetch, ReadyBoost, launch prefetching (boot and app launch) will be turned off by default. These technologies were all meant to enhance performance on traditional HDDs, where random read performance could just be a major bottleneck.

I tried to enable Readyboost on a system with Windows7 and SSD and the OS recognized the presence of SSD and advised that I do not require Readyboost. But I have Readyboost device and could not find pre-fetch service to turn it off. How to disable Readyboost device?

[JIT]

Start->Run->Type Regedit->Press Enter
Navigate to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
Here you will find two or three instances of that Registry statememt. Disable them all.

In Windows 7, Microsoft unveils substantial increases in read and write speed of SSDs. Windows 7 will partition the Solid State Disk drives to reduce the duplicate read-write cycles. When Win 7 detects a Solid State Disk drive, it will automatically turn off defragmentation because it can reduce the lifespan of SSD. Read times are often boosted when drives are defragmented, but since flash memory already has a high read rate and slow write rate, defragment is not necessary for SSDs.
