Hey techies, I’m about to install my brand new OCZ Vertex 3 120GB but I’m not sure whether I should be using some of the tweaking/cleaning programs that I used to religiously run almost everyday with my HDD, such as Tune-Up, CCleaner, Advanced SystemCare, GameBooster.

Is any of these beneficial on a SSD? How about registry cleaning? I tried googling and browsing OCZ forums but there seem to be controversial opinions on the subject – or none at all

Are there any tweaking/cleaning programs designed specifically for SSDs? I only found http://majorgeeks.com/SSD_Tweaker_d6382.html , any feedback?

Registry cleaning with an automated or semi-automated tool is a horrifically bad idea. Don’t do it.

Supplementing a tool that is doing little more than guesswork with a user who inevitably has no idea what it is suggesting is a recipe for disaster.

SSD’s are not about the ticks man! It’s about the stuff.

TuneUp Utilities’ reg cleaner does a pretty damn good job in my experience.. Have been using it for years and it never broke anything.
