Good luck, I hope I win. Your tax advisor should have told you that, since you know how to do arithmetic, you are exempt from paying that tax. Exactly. It's not by accident that they call the purchase of lottery tickets a voluntary tax. It's astonishing when you consider that most governments outlaw casinos, Not anymore. yet the odds at roulette are better by a few orders of magnitude. But the possible win isnt. If they outlawed booze, except for booze made by the state, would that also be considered an acceptable role for government? Nope. |

I reconnected an HDD that sits in a bay on a system that has that drive installed as a backup. I did it so I could get the SSD ready for either a clean install of W7 or alignment. At this time I am still not sure what way to go. I have a total of 10 SSDs so far so I have to plan on how I am going to use them. Some I may just keep as spare hardware. I also bought a Crucial Adrenaline to play around with sometime when I get the time. Starting an SSD museum already? These consumer ones have only just come out in the last few years. Yousuf Khan |

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? Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan I simply plan to no longer use HDDs for anything more then backup and storage devices. I have five desktops, a notebook and a netbook sitting here along with my wife's desktop in her office that will eventually all have at least one SSD. Once I got used to the speed I just can't see going back to that old mechanical drive of the past. Al. |

Yousuf Khan 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. http://thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/o...ation-guide-2/ 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. http://www.admin1.myzen.co.uk/restore7.PNG 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 ??? Yes all true! You heard about keeping the swapfile off of the SSD too, right? And if that is all you got, then to turn the swapfile off. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows Live Mail 2009 Centrino Core2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz - 1.5GB - Windows 8 CP |

Or maybe Windows 7 does this for all SSD drives by default, I dunno. And it has been over 2 years ago that I ran Windows 7 under an SSD.

One of the other suggestions in the above guide was to disable disk defragmentation, and I found that the SSD wasn't even listed on the defrag schedule, so there's no way to disable it, since there's no way to enable it either. The only things listed in the defrag schedule were my proper hard disks. Yousuf Khan |
