There is something called the TRIM command, which is like a defragment for an SSD.
As far as I know, you need to be running Windows 7 to use it.

For Patriot drives, this is called Wiper.exe
You can download it from their site, which I believe is www.patriotmemory.com

I'd use Win7 (64-bit), over any other Windows version.
Even if the trim command was not dependent upon it.
