If you have a fast CPU there isn’t much downside.

Yeah, I read somewhere that compressing an SSD drive can actually increase performance. The theory was that you're moving a smaller file around, and that the decompress speed is actually faster than the transfer speed...
I didn't even think about the stuff you just mentioned.

You know... I saw you talk about this in a different thread, and I meant to ask you what was up with that. I have no idea about partition alignment or how to do it (or even what the benefit is). I mean, I understand what partitions are and all that, but I have no clue about the alignment side of it.
I did let Windows partition my drive. Whenever I reinstall, I just select the old volume and delete it... and then tell Windows to create a new one and install to it.
PS. I love these SSD discussions. It seems like there's always something new to learn!
