As I said before I had to stop Win7 from running the defrag schedule but
Win8 looks much better regarding SSDs.
The defrag option is now called ' Optimize and defrag drive' and the
'Defragment now...' button is labelled 'Optimize'.
On running Optimize it takes about 2 seconds to 'trim' the drive (120 G/B).
Optimization is scheduled to run weekly by default.

What is Win8's definition of "optimization" for SSD's?

Nothing about SSDs in Help and Support yet for Win8, either off-line
or on-line so nothing to read there.
On Googling around a bit this is all I found that mentions Win8:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Defragmenter_(Windows)

And I found this on my search, which recommends disabling System Restore
on an SSD. Item 3, 'The most important piece in this guide'.
I'd not heard of that one before.

And when I check my Win8 box (Intel SSD) the System Restore is turned off by default.
So I check back on my Win7 box (OCZ-Vertex3) and that is also off with a weird folder
icon for a 'missing C: drive'. The settings for this missing drive are greyed out.

When I try to restore from an earlier time I've no restore points to access.
I am sure I did not manually turn System Restore off ???
