ewf / fbwf as a further help to speed up the ssd

hey – nice tipps. but if you only use the device as a preset machine to work with, i would recommend fbwf / ewf as the best option. like this it is a bit painfull to install something, but simply working with the progs you allready have installed is just great!!!

see the how to in the mp3car or the aspire one user forum… funny, that these enhancements allways are the products of unbearably bad performance ;)

All of these are band aids until Microsoft rolls over and provides a mechanism to tune the I/O Scheduler in XP/Vista for SSD’s. Basically what is missing is the ability to tell XP/Vista to just write.

RIght now XP/Vista gather and sort I/O operations to optimize head movement. With no head SSD’s are actually slowed by what is actually a critical optimization for mechanical hard disks.

On my Acer Aspire One I was able to tweak Linpus to turn off this operation and the change in SSD performance was quite distinct.
