SSD Questions
Once again I have some questions about my SSD. I have a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I have my user folders on a 2 TB Seagate SSD. I'm looking to optimize the performance. In my bios, it says that my system boots in AHCI mode (See images). The registry also has the appropriate value set to zero. When I open Samsungs software, SSD Magician it says that I'm not booting in AHCI mode (See images).
My other questions are about OS customization:
- This software recommends that I allot 23.8 GB of space for over provisioning. I have plenty of space left on the drive so do you think this would be a good idea or should I adjust the amount?
- I have 16 GB worth of RAM. What would be good parameters for my virtual memory or should I just let windows handle it?
- Should I deactivate Prefetch/Superfetch?
- Should I activate Write-Cache Buffer Flushing?
- How should I adjust System Restore?
Some of these settings I can judge for myself, but I'd like to hear other people's opinions on them.
