Prefetch and SSDs
My understanding from reading the MSDN blog was that prefetch and defrag were to be disabled for SSDs with "good performance." I have a second generation Intel X25-M 80GB as my boot drive which I believe qualifies as a "good performing" SSD.
I do see that defrag is disabled for my SSD (C: drive). However, the c:\windows\prefetch folder is fully populated. And the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher is set to 3, which seems to mean "enable all."
Does anyone know why prefetch is enabled? Is this happening for everyone?
I am running RTM from TechNet with all updates applied.
