    Installing on SSD


    I got my first SSD and since I feel it's time for a reinstall of W7 anyways, the timing is perfect. Is there anything specific I need to know before I get started installing on a SSD? My computer certainly isn't cutting edge, it's been a number of years since I built it, but I think the SSD will be a nice overall upgrade. From what I've read Windows 7 works flawlessly with solid state drives, I just wanted to double check and see if theres any SSD-specific tweaks during or after install to maximize my gains.
