    SSD Alignment


    I'm reinstalling Windows 7 Operating system on my SSD drive. If I perform a clean installation of Windows 7 and wiping the entire drive. Do I need to perform a SSD alignment in the diskpart command before or after a clean reinstall of Windows? Or when is a SSD alignment needed?

    The only times you might need to alien the ssd is if you make a partition to install on.

    TZ is right. In your case the installer will take care of it.
