Will this work with my windows 7 64-bit version? Thanks.

Acer Aspire One / 1 GB RAM / 16 GB SSD
Win7 Ultimate x86 was almost unusable until I installed Flashfire. :-)

Can I tune it, e.g. set BufferSize to 64 instead of 32, and set ClusterSize to 8192 instead of 4096?

I've got modern gen. SSD and after proper installation of this software I've experienced no difference in bootup time (21sec), but it took about x4 times longer to shut down(50sec) (Without Flashfire it takes 15sec). I've used no official fancy benchmarking tools, but here is something the owners of new gen. SSDs will find interesting... Without using Flashfire, for Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 it takes exactly 7 sec. to perform "Start Quick Scan" task. While using Flashfire it took about 40-50sec. Also, while bootup, as soon as you see desktop, comp. freezes for about 3-5sec. before you can start clicking on programs and icons, so that you have to wait 5-sec... but than it goes away. All other tasks,as far as for the short time period of using this soft, there is no difference. Logically, I would still suspect other tasks to encounter some minor slowdowns.
If you have similar SSD and any Win7, this soft. is not for you... Instead, try manually opimize your SSD for Win7 to gain boost speed, besides the one that Win7 provides for SSD owners automatically. Just Google "Windows 7 SSD Speed Tweaks" and you will get all the remedy to your (probably) unnecessary thirst for speed.

Hey guys!

Just found this software today and decided to try it on my UMPC (Intel A110 800mhz + 64Gb Kingspec 1.8" SSD, 945GM platform)

Before Flashfire
Sequential read: ~60
Sequential write: ~55
512K read: ~60
512k wright: ~41
4k read: ~11
4k write: ~1.8

After Flashfire
Sequential read: ~60
Sequential write: ~55
512K read: ~60
512k wright: ~15
4k read: ~11
4k write: ~4

So it double my random 4K random write speeds, but took down my 512k random write speeds a lot, so I uninstalled Flashfire. Hopefully if there's a version where you can test different styles/sizes/configurations within the program then I'll download it again and try with some new settings.

Windows 7 32-bit released version
RAM: 1GB
HDD: Sandisk pSSD 16GB
CPU: Atom N270

After installation there were no notices that everything installed correctly. The installer just finished and disappeared.

Also, there was no program group or desktop icon, and no configuration utility. The only way I know it is running is by running the benchmark tests.

Performance.

Before installation:






After installation and reboot:




Small file (<= 128K) performance improved, while larger file performance decreased.

I wonder why that wasn't included in the install package
