In the default configuration, the browser (FF), it looks like, just follows the convention... storing cache data under the C:\user\username\AppData\Roaming\BlahBlahBlah folder.

By default Windows sets the "user" folder (where user data files are stored) on the same disk as the Windows install disk. Since your Windows is on C: (SSD), so would the user data be.

I think it makes sense to change the cache to RAM. Since those are only temporary files. No real loss if those files are lost. (Temp image files, username/password cache, browser history, etc..)

Ok I did change this FF cache to ram and have FF on the ssd.
I will see how this goes.

Comment - Most of the SSD failures I have read about are reported as heat problems. By insulating your SSD from the case you lose the thermal heat transfer you'd normally get and gain no noise improvement. I have no clue how hot your drive is, but you might consider removing the silicone isolators.

Jack, Thanks for this great advice !
I will look into this now that you have brought it to my attention.
Looks like some really good tips have been shared here that a lot of people can benefit from.
Thanks to everyone who contributes their experience and knowledge.
 
Thermal paste is the same thing. Looks like you already did it, so you are fine.

Windows 7 will automatically allocate hard drive space to the page file & hibernation file equivalent to the amount of installed RAM. In your case, page file=8gigs hiberfile=8gigs By disabling or reducing the allocation of these two files you can quickly recover 16 gigs of your SSD. :)

Very nice job on the thread, well done TIKITRADER

Speaking of quiet, does anyone have any experience with these types of self contained water cooling systems.

They seem pretty cheap given the quietness and performance boost they offer. or are they just a flaky gimmick for 15 year old nerds.

I have not used water cooling, but threads I read have good comments on them.

You can look around these forums and possibly find something on them.
