    Hmm, you sure? This guy seems to believe Win 8 defrag handles SSD's properly. Not sure if it's proven though.

    Thanks for the link Aaron, I am going to leave it "On" and see how disk optimization works.

    I dont think it will make any difference as a ssd has no physical disk. It will access data from anywhere at the same speed.

    Yeah, but I think Microsoft knows that. Which is why it says it will automatically choose the right optimization for the type of media. And the trim options.

    I think they know how SSD's operate by now...

    If not, well we're in trouble then.
