From all the reputable review sites that I read, they all say to disable superfetch (and the others). Maybe with HDDBoost it's still needed.

Superfetch loads your more often opened stuff into unused RAM so it loads way faster. I just read that it keeps a log of your most often loaded processes, so I guess that log being rewritten might be a concern for people with only an SSD.

The way information is written to SSD's keeps it living for a long time past your death. So all these tiny writes is not a concern. Little each time it writes, it writes to a different place than the last time.

Now if you are writing large files continuously over a long period of time, you are longevity for the flash will diminish much faster.

The larger the SSD the longer the longevity because it has more places to write.

And... BLAH.

I think that the very low response times of SSDs doesn't require superfetch. SSDs are like large RAM disks.
