SSD Optimise Tool

[PBComputer]

I'm in the middle of upgrading a clients hard drive to a SSD. Does anyone know of a tool which will optimise the Windows 7 installation.

I normally do it by hand buy looking for an easy option.

Optimize? If you are wanting to image the drive I like aomei backupper. Just drop the image onto an external and back onto the ssd. There are some guides on how to optimize ssds in Windows 7, but I've successfully cloned using that method. I think even their free version is free for business use.

Just clone the drive with a 2 slot toaster.

I think he means get the TRIM going and tweak settings to give the SSD the settings it prefers similar to samsung magician

I have never found that "tweaking" an SSD makes any measurable difference.

Samsung Magician is pretty good for that. Along with the clone software and 10 year warranty its one of the reasons we recommended them and only them.

I use Samsung SSDs and the magician does it all for me.

Aomei Backupper will align the partition for an SSD (for best performance) when you are restoring the image if you ask it to - it's a check box during the restore process, I think.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Sam got what I was meaning. I will have a look as Samsung Magician.

He's right I do remember seeing that checkbox. Don't know. You may have to have the paid version for that though, but I remember seeing the button.
