I'm about to put an X25 into my Mac and want to make sure I've got everything setup correctly from the start. Suggestions I've read are as follows:-
1. check to make sure you don't have TRIM firmware installed on the SSD.
2. dissable sudden motion sensor
3. enable don't sleep
4. no safe sleep
5. apply noatime
6. disable spotlight
7. don't defragment
Does that sound about right or are there other opinions? Even better is there a wiki or how to out there somewhere?
I'm not sure why someone suggested disable sleep. I don't think this takes too much disk activity.
And why would you disable spotlight? I know that it spends a fair amount of time accessing the drive to do indexing but it needs to do that to work properly doesn't it?
