It is hardly news that today’s operating systems are anything but optimized for the new generation of storages, Solid State Drives. The file systems used by Windows, Linux and other operating systems are optimized for mechanical harddrives, which is quite different from how a SSD operates. In the end this results in worse than optimal performance and in some cases a shortened life-span.
Windows 7 will be the first Windows operating system with real optimizations for SSDs even if they will hardly be optimal for an operating system running on Solid State Drives. Over at TweakTown they have taken a closer look at the SSD performance of Windows 7 and compared it to Windows Vista.
Even if synthetic benchmarks are far from optimal for evaluating the feel and performance of Solid State Drives we can see that Windows 7 already in the beta sate works better with SSDs, even if the margins are anything but great.
