I just don't have ANY problems with XP on SSDs. Even w/o dual boot on XP, you can Trim as an external drive or run Diskeeper SSD Free Space Optimizer.

This is why I have dual boot. On XP I run programs that W8 won't plus reliable and easier/more informative Acronis and Diskeeper. On W8 Trim works. On some earlier SSD, you can also run Garbage collec .......
Diskeeper SSD Free Space Optimizer IS a defragmenter. No benefit on SSD. Look it up.
In other posts, he suggests partitioning SSDs to minimize wear in one of the partitions. Won't work as SSDs are not 'electro-mechanical' in nature like HDDs. The controller will write to whatever NAND flash cells it chooses regardless of how the SSD is partitioned.
Like I said, tweaking and theorizing is one thing but spewing factually inaccurate misinformation is another.
