Bigger the SSD capacity the more parallel channels to increase throughput but not noticeable on SATA2 so go 128/256 and stick pics and vids on a traditional drive.
If your putting Win 7 on there disable Windows Search service after re-install (type services.msc, find Windows Search, right click disable), most people don't but there is no point in indexing an SSD its quick as anyway and the disable will give you a speed boost.
So does windows 8 (and 10 almost but the new start menu is dreadful)mattr":cglxq99g said:Yeah, some are odd, some aren't!
And windows 8? No thanks. 7 works just fine!

They're basically saying stop using the nice fast drive to make it last a fraction longer.
Sounds like its been written by people from the 90s who had small drives and every generation of HDD was that much quicker but are now saying things backwards.
