Which OS Performs Best With SSDs?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the io-io-it's-off-to-work-we-go dept.

Lucas123 writes "Linux, Vista and Mac OS perform differently with solid state disks. While all of them work well with SSDs, as they write data more efficiently or run fewer applications in the background than XP, surprisingly Windows 2000 appears to be the winner when it comes to performance. However, no OS has yet been optimized to work with SSDs. This lost opportunity is one Microsoft plans to address with Windows 7; Apple, too, is likely to upgrade its platform soon for better SSD performance."

    That's because Mac users are non technical and open their files by name rather than cluster number. If you do that then defragmenting doesn't break anything.
