Superfetch and Indexing foe Win 7 and SSD

[kajima]

Well MS clearly states that the problems they encountered where with first gen SSDs, aka those Micron drives with horrible lags. No wonder that you don't want to depend on a drive that has up to 1 1/2seconds lag, but for the other drives they suggest turning it off.

Well neither MS nor Intel state technical reasons for it and I don't see any either, so I'm with the "turn it on" crowd, but it'd be interesting to hear from Intel on the matter.

have you solved this issue from Intel SSD toolbox?

after reading it, i let intel toolbox to disable superfetch (win 7 pro x64), then i want to enable it again under "services" to see the difference but the service cannot start:

Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified

why is that? intel toolbox deleted the required file?

I'm sorry I have forgotten quoting your post.

I encounter the same issue.
Win 7 32bit installed on Intel SSD 160GB2GC.
I almost confirm that this problem happen when I optimize the system byIntel SSD Toolbox .
By Intel's advice, users who have Win 7 on Intel series SSD, needn't the Superfetch service of the operating system.
So I suppose it erases my Superfetch by deleting any file(s) or disable any registry key.

Well I'm not sure how the toolbox disables superfetch and co (and I'm not going to try it for exactly that reason on a production system^^), but I'd very much hope that they just disabled the service - open services.msc and just check if you can put the Superfetch service back to automatic or on.

I had to right click on Superfetch in services to bring up properties to re-enable it. Set it to automatic and then start. Toolbox does nothing permanent.

hi, is the SSD as your system disk?

Thank every friend above!
I solved by myself.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

EnablePrefetcher = 0
EnableSuperfetch =0
superfetch won't work

EnablePrefetcher = 3
EnableSuperfetch =3
superfetch can be enable

i've done both, i have had SSD for almost 2 years now i think if not longer, i now have 3 of them actually. anymore i leave those services all on, i find the system overall is more usable, searching is handy and makes life quicker. Superfetch? i can't really tell, ssd's are so fast either way i dont think it matters much but i've been leaving it on lately, i think it boots faster still but all this is fairly negligble.
