SSD Setup
Just bought myself a 60g SSD and was wondering if there is anything i should do when setting it up for the first time? It is 2nd hand.
I will be using photoshop so should i use a different disc as the 'scratch disc' Thanks |

My old Intel SSD died after 18 months so you're taking a risk using an old SSD as your OS. Make sure you have a backup if you're keeping important documents on it.

make sure TRIM is enabled... without this enabled, your ssd will deteriorate and can lead to premature failure..
Open up an Elevated Command prompt (right click, run as administrator)... and type the command: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify if the result comes up as "0 TRIM", then its all enabled and your good to go.. important bit there, that noone has mentioned yet, so i thought id chuck it in
