XP doesn't support TRIM, the lack of which can slow SSDs down over time. Some handle it better than others. If it's a Samsung or Intel, install the manufacturer's utility and run the optimization. If it's anything else, the drive needs secure erased.
Staying with XP should not be considered an option. Same goes for MSE, since it has turned to crap. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of FORC5 Sent: Saturday, August 2, 2014 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] SSD and XP ? Any long term problem putting a SSD in XP ? What should I check ? Have one here with a SSD that has really slowed down. Not sure yet if the SSD or something else. Right off MSE went dormant so I need to remove and replace with something. Older Toshiba laptop. Them getting anything newer is not a option. I do have some regular laptop drives I could put in. thanks fp Date: Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 ***Caution Tagline Below*** **Tallyho** ******************************************* There are 2 ways to handle women and I know neither. *******************************************
