I understand that Superfetch was designed to use RAM for caching with HDDs in mind due to their high latencies, something that SSDs don't have. However, I don't understand how an SSD could outperform RAM.
Does Windows 7 automatically disable Superfetch on systems with fast enough SSDs solely to free up more RAM?
As an aside for those new to using an SSD with Windows, it is also highly recommended that you disable Disk Defragmenter for the same reasons cited below. A new installation of Windows 7 on an SSD should have Defrag disabled when you install, but upgrading from a standard disk to an SSD will require that it be disabled manually as well. – Justin Scott – 2012-07-25T17:18:43.450
