SSD windows 7

Hello

I have windows 7 installed on my SSD, but some one told me i have to tweak the OS for SSD use so it doesn't lower the lifespan of my SSD?

Is this true? If so, what do i have to tweak ?

Some one told me vaguely about, partition alignment, and swapspace hack.

But im hopeing some one knows more details about this stuff

Not true.

Only possible exception would be that you have an antique SSD or if you have some very very unusual case where your SSD is hammered with writes far beyond what an ordinary home user would ever experience.

Older SSDs were much more prone to the wear and tear issue and it became a big deal in the early days of SSDs. Not so with anything from recent models.

Any tweaking you insist on doing might extend the life from 20 years to 50. Would that matter to you?

Your SSD can drop dead in 3 minutes regardless.

Just make sure it's aligned properly and is not defragmented.

You can do a couple of things like eliminate hibernation or fiddle with the page file if you are concerned about a lack of space on the SSD. Otherwise, I wouldn't do anything.

So how come people say Windows 8 comes with SSD management, meaning it has something windows 7 does not have?

I think 8 avoids the use of the word "defragment" and instead has something called "drive optimization"--but nothing significant has changed. Neither 7 or 8 will attempt to defrag an SSD.

I have heard nothing at all about 8 handling SSDs differently than 7. But I don't use Windows 8.
