04:12  All About SSDs - How do you know TRIM is enabled?
07:00  Is there any benefit to a defrag on an SSD?   
08:42  What's the fastest way to connect a SSD
09:44  Can I tag text files like I do pictures in Windows 7?
12:53  Monitor no longer wakes from sleep.  
14:42  Can I mirror my C: drive to another drive as a backup while Windows is running?
18:32  Will a "low level format" fix a thumbdrive that has bad sectors?
22:21  Deleted Thumbs.db and Desktop.ini, now having problems.
27:12  Windows crashes non-responding app too soon, is there a way to make it wait longer?

There are a few things you need to know before adding a SSD to your Windows 7 PC. Ed Bott has an article worth reading called Windows 7 and SSDs: Setup secrets and tune-up tweaks. One of the most important things to know abotu is what TRIM is and how to make sure you're using it.

Ah, you’ve fitted one of those solid state drives - I hear they move data fast, but not quite as fast as OCZ’s new IBIS SSD, which transfers data at speeds up to 2GBps. 

That’s no typo – you can keep your gigabit per second (Gbps) drives. We’re talking gigabyte per second (GBps) here. According to Overclockers Club, the OCZ Ibis can shift 1GB of data down and 1GB up every second – that’s serious bandwidth for a hard drive.

Achieving those kind of speeds isn’t easy – to do so, OCZ have had to build in four disk controllers in a RAID configuration, and use a new, top notch SAS cable to boot.

They call it High Speed Data Link, and with desktop read/write speeds approaching 373 and 323 MB/s respectively, and enterprise users picking up a blistering 840 MB/s read and 675 MB/s write, the hours wasted  staring at file transfer progress bars are almost behind us.

Corsair Memory and OCZTechnology Group have released firmware updates to enable TRIM on some of their SSD's. Once installed, Windows 7 also disables ReadyBoost, Superfetch, and Disk Defrag, which are better used for speed increases on platter hard drives. We'll try to catch up with the two companies when we get to CES next week.

Lance from SanDisk gave as a quick overview of all the different types of storage formats currently in use today and helped clarify the difference between SD and SDHC.

We also had a look at SanDisk's new technology Vaulter and how it will be implemented into laptops and other  devices in the very near future. ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NicFill/Sandisk-Sets-us-Straight-on-Solid-State-Storage We dropped by the SanDisk booth at CES this year for an update on all things storage including SSDs (Solid State Drives) and the newly announced Vaulter.Lance from SanDisk gave as a quick overview of all the different types of storage formats currently in use today and helped clarify the difference between SD and SDHC.We also had a look at SanDisk's new technology Vaulter and how it will be implemented into laptops and other  devices in the very near future. 302 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NicFill/Sandisk-Sets-us-Straight-on-Solid-State-Storage Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:20:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NicFill/Sandisk-Sets-us-Straight-on-Solid-State-Storage Nic Fillingham Nic Fillingham 0 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NicFill/Sandisk-Sets-us-Straight-on-Solid-State-Storage/RSS CES Storage CES 2008 SanDisk SDHC SSD Vaulter
