So I overnighted a supertalent 256gb drive, and it arived this morning. I'm going to image my velociraptor to it when I get home and then do a win7 upgrade install. I will have a 60gb os partition and a 170gb apps partition on the drive, with the rest left free for performance reasons in the case tha the drive starts to fill up. So, did I miss anything? I know win7 auto detects SSDs so it doesn't defrag them, but it feels like I'm forgetting something. Also, how do I go about checking which firmware my drive has, so I make sure I have one which supports TRIM. Thanks in advance, I would check myself but I'm at work on my iPhone and it isn't really practical
 
Err... I hope you know you'll end up with about 10 gigs free if that's your plan...
yea i have heard mixed numbers on what people think is the best amount of space to leave unformatted. i made the thread so that people could point out noob mistakes i was making 🙂
