Well dont you guys know there is a "NTFS Compression" function since windows xp? sweat.gif
And read this before using NTFS compression on your ssd:
QUOTE
Is NTFS Compression of Files and Directories recommended on SSDs?
Compressing files help save space, but the effort of compressing and decompressing requires extra CPU cycles and therefore power on mobile systems. That said, for infrequently modified directories and files, compression is a fine way to conserve valuable SSD space and can be a good tradeoff if space is truly a premium.
We do not, however, recommend compressing files or directories that will be written to with great frequency. Your Documents directory and files are likely to be fine, but temporary internet directories or mail folder directories aren’t such a good idea because they get large number of file writes in bursts.

Just sharing a tips:
I was having the some problem when trying to install W7 to my newly bought SSD, same as people here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...20-13b60dea64d8
Teh windows 7 setup will not let you install win7 to your SSD.

First option: you have to disconnect all HDD from your mobo and even usb storage.
second option i found out myself:
If you already have windows 7 installed on old HDD, and your are LAZY to open your casing to unplug your HDD power cable or SATA, here is the TIPS:

Boot into Windows 7 (xp or vista is untested.) install from THERE, no need to reboot or unplug cable rclxms.gif
of course choose to install win7 into your SSD rclxms.gif

There's an easier way to deal with it. Just delete all partitions on the SSD and u're good to go.

Dont remember tried this options sweat.gif
Was going to install windows xp on first partition so didnt delete the whole disk.
Anyway install windows 7 by launching the installer much more easier than traditional way, no need to load drivers for sata controller or other hardware lol.
