Windows 8/8.1 is supposed to have superfetch disabled automatically when it recognizes a SSD, but mine is enabled. I have a SSD but also a secondary HDD that is accelerated with a 25 mSATA SSD via Intel Rapid Storage Technology. I'm assuming since the second HDD is enhanced with a SSD then there should be no reason whatsoever to leave superfetch on... Am I wrong? I'm thinking I should turn it off, and if there's anything else you think I should do to improve my settings or stop any services I don't need, please do feel free to let me know.

No, in windows 8/8.1 it's enabled even if you have an SSD. Superfetch is different. It ignores it. You can disable print spooler and bluetooth service and homegroup services if you don't share files over your network.
