Hmmm, somehow I missed this post. Sorry.

Anyhoot I strongly recommend that you disable Windows Disk Defragmenter on any system using an SSD.
To disable the service, right-click My Computer and select Manage. In the new window's left column select "Services and Applications". Then in the center column, double-click "Services". Now search for Disk Defragmenter, right-click it and select "Properties". If the service is running press the Stop button to shut it down. Then click the drop down menu for Startup type and select disabled. Finally press the OK button. That's it.

And while the services window is still open, I'd suggest disabling the following services:
*Windows Firewall (If you are running a 3rd party software firewall)
*Windows Error Reporting Service (Totally useless service)
