I have a Patriot Torqx 64GB SSD as the OS drive for Windows 7 64-bit on a EX58A-UD7.
I have always used AVG Free for anti-virus. AVG 9 has a caching/optimization routine that does a lot of indexing of system and other files. As far as I can tell, this routine runs constantly.
I have read that with SSD drives, it is wise to disable OS services that involve a lot of HDD access, such as prefetching, indexing, etc. to prevent excessive wear on the SSD. I believe that Windows 7 in fact turns off these services automatically for SSD drives.
Is it wise to use AVG 9 on a system with a SSD OS drive in view of this repetitive disk access issue?
