Before I commit the time to do this mod, could someone please explain the reasons I might not want to do this mod? I'm assuming there are some.

I enabled this mod using the scripts for the registry entry, and when I try entering ewfmgr c: I receive the following error:

Failed getting protected volume configuration with error 1.
Incorrect function

I have confirmed that my disk(0), etc information is correct, and googling hasn't helped much. I am still able to write to my SSD. If anyone can assist, it would be greatly appreciated.

zk2008, it's worth it, speed is ridiculously fast, but downfall is that if you install or setup something in windows, you need to run the commit script so that it saves for next session. Other then this, Windows is blazingly fast.

I was getting the exact same error when I tried it out too.

And I did follow the steps from this thread. No idea what the problem may be, the error message is a bit cryptic and uninformative, hehehe.

Ok, figured it out. The .reg files that are posted do not work 100%. You have to go through the registry entries and edit them manually. Once entered properly, it works just fine, and the speed boost is absolutely unreal. Simply go through iDq's steps one by one in your registry, and it's beutiful.

this worked great for me! the speed is amazing
after geting everything setup i followed this guide to make my sd card a local disk

http://www.lancelhoff.com/2008/06/19/ma ... ocal-disk/

then i used TweakUI to move my documents, desktop and favorites folders to my sd card i can now save files make folders and add favorites without the need to commit the changes.

For anyone still having trouble with the registry editing, I just used the whole thing from the blog post and it works instantly :)

EDIT: EWF plays nice with Truecrypt too! Yay :D How freaking cool is that 0b?!?!

Would EWF work if you installed a ZIF HDD or CF in your AA1, or on a 120GB model? The ATTO disk benchmark for EWF installed on the SSD posted previously was a write speed of over 600MB/sec, whereas a ZIF drive and the Transcend 300x CF write speeds were only 34MB/sec.
