Yeah for me it doesn't matter if it's on or not. Anyway I think it might be an issue where this version of AS SSD has issues with the drive also being the OS drive. That's my guess anyway. As I said, with my OCZ vertex 4 drive no longer being the OS drive, AS SSD no longer crashes benching it.
Oh well, no sleep lost. Hopefully there's a new updated version coming soon.

The 840 Pro is certainly a great SSD, but...
One thing that Apple did right for the MBP is to move the storage to PCI Flash:
It is faster than any SSD and and in my view, the PCI Flash is the future...
The same MBK with VMware running Windows 8.1 isn't as good, but not bad at all:
Yes, the AS SSD did complete without error in Windows 8.1...
On the flip side, the resolution in Windows 8.1 is 2560x1600 on a 13" retina display is awesome. I love the fonts, even if they are on the smallish side. The best laptop platform for Windows 8.1 is the MBK, it would probably be faster if it is running natively and not as a virtual machine...

The MBP is MacBook Pro (a laptop basically), the MBK was a typo, and the PCI Flash, or more accurately PCIe Flash is SSD connected directly to the PCI interface of the computer. And Apple is Apple Inc., the company that makes iPhone, iPad, and the rest of the iCrap...
More and more companies are getting into the PCIe flash drive (or SSD) business:

In about three years, they'll be common in PCs, laptops, etc...

I was kidding about the Apple part.
OCZ came out with a PCIe SSD. OCZ RVD3-FHPX4-240G RevoDrive 3 PCI-Express Solid State Drive - 240GB, 4x PCI-E at TigerDirect.com I think they have lost favor now though.
Then there's this monster, with a price to match.

Those PCIe drives look nice on paper. But for the OS they are an overkill and for large amounts of data (where they would really shine) they are still too expensive.

Might be so, but it is nice to have in the MacBook Pro. The faster the OS/programs start, the better it is. Especially when the price had come down to the level, where it's compatible to the high end Windows laptops with similar features without the PCIe Flash. Like the Lenovo x1 Carbon....
