Hello guys.
I changed my SSD OCZ Vertex 2 with SSD Intel Series 330 60 GB. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, AHCI was already in BIOS as enabled.
So far so good, i installed all the drivers, programs, etc. Everything runs smooth and nice.
The cache folder for Mozilla Firefox ( my default browser ) is on the D partition, which is an hard drive, same story for the swap.
I disabled the System Restore, Defragmentation, Superfetch as well...
I checked with the program SSD Life Pro just to see some details. After less than 2 hours i have already
those values ( read / write ) as in the attached images.
The print screens are made at a very short period of time between each other.
I only surfed the web with Mozilla Firefox.
Could you explain it to me, please, why is there already 55 / 59 GB ?
Is something wrong with the program SSD Life Pro ?
Can you give me some tips, please ?
Thank you.

Intel may be doing some testing on new drives ?

I would put the Firefox cache and swap on the SSD, although that's a small SSD. You want that on the fastest drive.
 
You're spending way too much time worry about the life of your SSD, in my opinion. Everything I've read says that this paranoia that first came out is more or less proven false for average day-to-day users or even heavy gamers.
 
Running with the rig in sig and windows 8, I haven't moved or relocated anything except the user folders to a spinning drive. So all of my cache, swap, etc are on the ssd and I only use 48 GB of space total. I have never disabled hibernation either, although I never let it hibernate due to bios problems on the motherboard. I say put them all back and only move the user folders...

Do you mean the entire "Users" folder, or only the folders from inside ?
I already did with the "My Documents" folder because of the saved games, there is a lot of games which save to this folder.
 
Well, I moved my video, music and email and such to the spinner oh and my docs as well. Everything else I just left default really.
 
I do not recommend purchasing SSDs smaller than 128GB partly for this reason. Wear leveling will work much better on a larger drive.
