As far as I was happy, my games were going well, but there was something missing ... bugged me for some the endless Rumrödelei to magtetischen disks, the boot continued endlessly, as starting programs, although to the crate before not all a long time has been newly set up ... I wanted to improve something, the next logical step was a SSD ...
My choice was the Samsung EVO 840 with 250GB ...
Bought my existing filesystem slightly rebuilt, installed, was immediately recognized by EFI, installed directly from a USB stick Windows 7, went super fix, system starts up, it is immediately there and run ... it still does and I am very satisfied with the performance, programs start when clicked, even the Adobe programs are within one second ready for use where the start of my HDD was simply no more solemn and really took a long time ... loading times of games, I now can not be compared with the stopwatch , think but that will cut off the SSD no worse certainly than my HDD before ... oh and as I said, extremely fleet-up is a dream ...
Do you know actually been the story of the firmware bug?
It was so, the SSD was scarce 3 days at me in the PC since there was on various internet sites, the message read that among other things the 840 EVO a problem succumb extending to the effect manifests the files that are a long time unused in the attic only very slowly can be ... loved it because I buy after all this time finally a SDD and then something like that ... ironic ... Anyway, Samsung responded and released a firmware update, it got installed, making it again all good ...
... And a small, more general info on the edge ...
On the web you can still find plenty of guides for various "SSD optimizations" ... was me just not sure if this is necessary ... after a few conversations with co-workers and a sober view of the facts I have come to the conclusion: All unnecessary ... much of it comes even from the early days of SSD, as this may perhaps sometime have been useful, currently this is no longer so ... Windows (7) directed the SSD so that it can be used properly .. .from the Samsung maintenance tool Magician the reason flew down with me for a few days again, the tinkering namely also at various system settings in the direction of rum and something I like ... not at all
Therefore, I can conclusively say: Uses the SSD as a HDD and Do not worry ...
