Peter, how is the overall speed performance with SSD? Using xxhe, as in loading audio files and pictures and to get in unattended and restore services and stuff like that. And how behaves Vista on SSD compares to normal HDD. Does it speed up certain things!  Just curious what your experiences are! roy My SSD is still running great. Since I use Peter's Gallery scheme and I have my Gallery on the SSD I think it helps a lot for scrolling through the pictures in the library tab. My WAV/CUE files are on external HDDs daisy chained via FireWire to the computer.... and they go to sleep very soon after being used.... so, my biggest wait time is after I select an album to play from the gallery, it takes 30 seconds to wake up the external hardrive to load the wav/cue into the playlist. My computer is dedicated to XXHE and that is pretty much the only program on there... so can't answer how the SSD works with Vista in general. |

Thnx SeVeRed, you are fast too! , Haha I had problems with the gallery too, Now using Folders with Artists\album\multiple FLAC's. And for 2CD abums using (CD1) and (CD2) before name creation in EAC and put in same folder. Check my new thread Roy |

Peter, how is the overall speed performance with SSD? I estimate it to be twice as fast on actually everything that requires speed, like : - Presenting Gallery contents; - OS Startup; - OS Shutdown. There's other minor stuff like writing converted (etc.) files, which is minor because the I/O needed is relative to other things, and it hardly *can* matter, but what is important is that it's not slowing down, which my former SSD certainly did. So, everything faster or equal. And no anomalies seen yet. The old one would have had 3 or so in this period. Btw, didn't perform a fresh install (same as with the other one), and just made backup of the OS disk and restored that onto the SSD (including boot track). And the sound still satisfies me.  Peter |

Peter,
You decided to go for the vertex and not wait for the intel to drop in price?
Knowing you then the Vertex must come close to the intel?

Peter,
You decided to go for the vertex and not wait for the intel to drop in price? Yep, based on my suggestion. The vertex is close in performance to the intel MLC, a difference unnoticeable just playing music. It does not hangs like the old models and it is cheap, especially the 30gb version. Peter got the 60gb verison because he has the development suite and needs more space, but we should be fine with 30gb (this answer the previous post). |

You are quit right Telstar,  I decided to get myself a OCZ vertex 30 GB, as second OS only for audio. Maybe make partition on it and use 6/10 GB for pagefile for other OS. Do a clean install, What should be on there only drivers, Vista( or W7) and XXHe ? And Tweak Vista to dead like in peters forum. And some other settings. Should I close all usb ports, bluetooth, onboard soundcard and such. (and shutdown as many services as possible) Using http://www.blackviper.com/And what about System-restore (we have a back-up), Internet, anti-virus do we need that Just got mail, can pick it up on monday  What is best to use Vista or trying W7(got the .iso on disc) first? This is also because having some troubles as in not being able to play 24/96 files (this is a vista problem so quickest way to check this do a clean install) Would like to hear Al Di Meola Jmcl & pdl - a friday night in san fransisco in 24/96. And Autohotkey has a minor glitch. Maybe some advise in what can be turnt off. Have a nice weekend PS: Peter, Do I need new key for W7? |

AHUM Roy, if I had thought about this yesterday I would have said it yesterday. You, with your mega speed internet ... I hope you are not into downloading HD movies. But if you are ... before they go to their end location, they go to the OS disk first ... A HD movie can be something like 25GB ? Yes, you will need a new key fo W7. But that's no problem. PS: Since you will be collecting the SSD, there's a fair chance you can trade for a bigger one on the spot. If needed. But I would call first (and start crying next to the good morning  ). |

He must also move the TMP and Temp (ideally to the same drive where he would download or decompress stuff) folders from advanced system settings. |

Dont partition, put the pagefile on the same partition. SSD do not defragment in the traditoinal way. Should I close all usb ports, bluetooth, onboard soundcard and such. (and shutdown as many services as possible) Using http://www.blackviper.com/Yes, disable ALL peripherals that you dont need to use. USB may be needed for mouse or keyboard, irDA etc. blackviper site does not work. What's that? Anyway you NEED to disable disk defragmenter on the SSD drive. Disable also indexing service (that i would turn off completely in a music pc). And what about System-restore (we have a back-up), Internet, anti-virus do we need that Keep system restore, it is the best thing since Vista came. You need no internet nor antivirus, but if you need to get updates now and then and cannot do though a lan, you should install a good AV, then go online, do all updates and then uninstall the antivirus. What is best to use Vista or trying W7(got the .iso on disc) first? I would try W7 RC first. If you are fine with the drivers, it cannot be worse for sound than Vista. (SP2 is coming too slowly) Second best would be to wait for Vista SP2 install dvd (no updates needed in that case). |

Thnx Telstar,
Got the video-card driver and soundcard drivers for W7 already downloaded
So no problem in that.
Thnx for point on defagmention (does it ever dfrg)?
Indexing has been off forever, already
And Peter, this is just a OS for audio.
Not for downloading HD movies, can do that on other OS.
Don't understand your point here !
Even on other OS its using a special 1TB HDD for saving my downloads
That means 3 partions Incoming, outgoing, finished

just reading a post on other forum Quote: When a solid state drive is present, Windows 7 will disable disk defragmentation, Superfetch, ReadyBoost, as well as boot and application launch prefetching. “These technologies were all designed to improve performance on traditional HDDs, where random read performance could easily be a major bottleneck,” explained Fortin. One of the more notable advancements in Windows 7 is support for the Trim command. I am lost for words that MS did something that smart.
