Installing an SSD drive on your computer, be sure to turn off any kind of
disk defragmenter. Even the built-in one, from Windows itself. Also, beware,
not all disk imaging software are compatible with SSD disks. The SSD
technology, does hold a slightly different address mapping structure, which
in plain text will mean, it formats the disk differently from a standard
Hard disk. Any disk repairing software you might currently be using, should
be checked for compatibility with SSD. More software are getting compatible,
but you should be forewarned. Attempting to defrag an SSD drive, could
corrupt the whole disk permanently. That would be no less than "TOO BAD".
Searches on the net, tells me, there is little if any way back, once an SSD
has got corupted.
OK; this is no WE issue in itself, but a general warning. To let you all
know, I do speak from an expensive experience. So be careful as to which
repairs you perform, once your drive has got installed. And, if you are
imaging the disk from your old system, be sure to turn off any
defragmenters, before making the image. Otherwise, you could end up
corruptign your brand new SSD, the moment you start it up, with an image
holding an active defragmenter.
Only a friendly reminder. Still thrilled to have a new SSD installed here,
to see what that technology can perform. Smile.

Hi. In answer, I'm running WE 7.5 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit laptop, and the
only WE issue relating to my SSD is that the SSD bits corrupt faster than
hard drive bits, so I'm thinking you'll have to do "repair" to your software
more often. Other than that, there are no compataibility issues with WE and
SSD's that I've encountered.
