SSD Tweak Utility

[sbohdan]

I'm not sure if this was posted anywhere before - if yes than just erase my post. I found this little app. developed by a forum member at the OCZ forum and thought it might help those of you who want a simple to use utility to optimize your SSD for best performance (windows xp, vista, win7 both 32 and 64bit):

I tried it and it works very well. prevents SSD's from slowing down with time and prolongs its life and most cases speeds up the drive.

enjoy

I forget where i got it..but I've used it. Can't say I saw a difference really, but it's not a bad program.

If you are using Win 7, Windows will align the partition correctly by default for SSD's.

ok, so it could still be useful, when useing win. vista or XP

thanks for the tip although at the OCZ forum nobody mentioned it would be useless for windows 7. so you think if I'm using windows 7 64bit, that it would make no difference even after a longer time (when SSD's are said to slow down considerably)?

If you scout around on the OCZ site, you'll see where Tony points out on several guides that Win 7 will align the partition correctly by default. The performance difference is dependent on how bad the alignment is but it should worsen over time (outside of the "normal" performance deterioration of some SSD's).
