Now on to some things we can do to reduce some on the unnecessary writes to the SSD. Windows 7 has the most event logs that I have seen of any OS. If you are having issues, then I would not change the logging options. If not, then we can stop a lot of writes that frankly, only an engineer would need (we leave the basic event logs alone).

Go to start/admin tools and select performance monitor. Expand data collector sets. Click on Startup Event Trace Sessions.

With the exception of the following NECESSARY logs (Application, Security, System, Security Essentials) we can stop them from starting. To do so, right click on each one that has a status of Enabled (except the ones mentioned above) and select Properties. Click the Trace Session tab. Unselect Enabled. Click Ok. Repeat for the others (including readyboot).

After your next boot, you will have a lot less writes going to the SSD that are not needed.

TEMP FILES... IF you have another NON SSD drive installed, I would move the TEMP and temporary internet files to them.


Since I have Windows 7 make an image backup of the SSD to my other drive every day (only takes a few minutes and very little resources), I completely turn off system protection (system restore).


You can also turn off Windows reliability monitor. I will post a short tutorial if you want. It does quite a bit of writing too, but only every few hours.


There are some other more advanced things I do, but to be honest, they result in very little speed increase (less than 1%).
