Also to note *NEVER* defragment the drive under XP. That will kill       the drive. XP dosn't know what a SSD is.              What you can do though is boot to a linux cd/iso and drop to command line and       then run (If they are in the base cd/iso image)       the fstrim command:              ie:              sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt       sudo fstrim -v /mnt                      AA> render onscreen faster.
