Scott, would you recommend using the Windows 7 option "Compress this drive to save disc space" when a SSD is running low on storage?

Never! Either delete files or get a larger drive. Scott.

How about the option "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"? Should that option be unchecked as well?
