Some more SSD optimizations, probably you're doing them...

I don't have an SSD running Windows, but suggestions on the linked page look reasonable.

One thing the linked page did not mention is reducing (or eliminating) the use of log files as these contribute to the disk write traffic and hence SSD wear out process. One can check a system to see what log files are being written by doing a search of files modified in the last day or so. If there are periodic services that write large logs, then their logging and/or service should be disabled.

I've been running Linux O/S off a small SD card, but have taken care to minimize logging. Before this was done the system would "eat" SD cards. I would assume the situation is the same on larger SSDs, only somewhat abated due to the larger disk size.
