In addition to disabling the pagefile system, I disabled a
couple more things:


    Disable Background auto-layout:

Key Name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Op
timalLayout Value Name: EnableAutoLayout Type: REG_DWORD Value:
0


    Disable Prefetch

Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters Name:
EnablePrefetcher Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0


The above made perfect sense.


But I am not too sure I want to do this one:


    Disable update of filesystem's "last access timestamps"

"Key Name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
Name: NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1


All of the above are from this article:

windows-xp-for-ssd-solid-state-disk-operation/

Thoughts.. anyone?
