The small SSD Tweak Utility application makes it easy to optimize your SSD in Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

Looking for a way to tweak that new SSD? TechSpot plays host to a tool that gives you centralized access to all the popular SSD configuration points within the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Users can tweak various options including Windows Defrag, the indexing service, prefetching, and more without the need to dig through various menus.

Those of you who want to optimize the SDD but are unsure about what settings are ideal, the software provides an auto-tweak feature. For more advanced users, the tool recommends which settings to disable for optimal performance.

its not promoting it, its giving you access to the settings to turn it off, from what i can tell its like the godmode thing, all of the settings that you should adjust for ssd's in one place, and a bit of logic to suggest what they should be set to, i.e. defrag off. It kind of spells it out in the first paragraph.

Im still waiting so a virtual "Trim" application for all those non trim enabled SSD users, now that would be worth doing!

OCZ has something will post a link later, also works in raid, I'm not ratifying that it works, but they suggest it does, and the logic seems to be ok.
