SSD Optimization in Windows 7
According to an article on Tom’s Hardware, Windows 7 has built-in optimization for Solid-State Drives (SSD). SSD is the future for storage, although prices now are quite prohibitive and it’s only available on premium laptops and PCs.
Since SSDs have no moving parts, it runs cooler and more silent than your typical Hard Disk Drive. It also has faster access times and lower latencies, and don’t damage easily when dropped.
Michael Fortin, one of Microsoft’s Distinguished Engineers, wrote in the Engineering Windows 7 blog…
“Windows 7 tends to perform well on today’s SSDs, in part, because we made many engineering changes to reduce the frequency of writes and flushes. This benefits traditional HDDs as well, but is particularly helpful on today’s SSDs.”
