Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with CCS / WinXP running on an SSD?
Are there any known issues?

I have installed and used SSD drives for almost a year. All applications run the same, except for some "stuttering" just before they die. I am on my 4th one in less than 12 months. I am about ready to return to my WD Raptor Drive due to the lack of reliability of the SSD. Make sure to make daily backups!

OCZ Agility 120 GB. The first one lasted about 6 months. The last two barely lasted 2 months before the RMA process started. OCZ has sent a Vertex model this time. After one week so far so good!

NTFS, XP Pro 32, Asus Board and 4 GB of Ram. I even tried a failing SSD in my wife's computer, just to rule out the hardware, with the same results.

I just took delivery of a kingspec cheapy shipped out of China.
It arrived pre-formatted in FAT32. I played around with it a bit and tried it in NTFS and have come to the conclusion they might have pre-formatted it as FAT32 might work best with that brand. With NTFS I got chattering (stuttering) and auto running of chkdsk every second boot.
Seems pretty stable with FAT32 so I will see how it goes.
Theres an interesting tweak website www.kadaitcha.cx that looks at small unnecessary file operations such as removing indexing, disable8dot3 filenames, etc..
