I suggest in 8.2/9 that there should be more novice-friendly SSD management and application installations; I see us coming to a point where the default OEM configurations of store-bought PCs will have an SSD and platter disc. Don't default downloads to a the SSD's browser directory, but a spinning disc. Don't put Media directories on the SSD. MAKE people aware of where they are putting files... I've had many service calls with SSD users who claim their disc (SSD) is full. Fifteen minutes and $35 dollars later they're educated on file management.
Building PCs is my favorite thing among consulting jobs; a LOT of people actually view your intro to windows tutorials when they buy a new system. SSDs are not complicated... they all manage NTFS/TRIM/GBC without a second thought. "My Computer" is all these people need. Include SSD management tools in the next windows. Verify with OEMs (HP/Dell) that they have support packages for SSD/Hybrid storage plans. If my headaches are your future (on average my clients use 80GB Intel G2s, followed closely by various Crucial drives), then you need to change a few dozen links and lines of code at install, to look for a spinning drive.
Thank You,
