Okay, most of you -- since you're even talking about running WoW on solid memory -- probably already know this, but just in case; no matter what the medium, heavy file fragmentation can also degrade performance. It's a lot more important on conventional hard drives; defragging your WoW folder/installation (and even placing it closer to the beginning of the disk) can improve I/O performance.

Some "game booster" apps will let you defrag single install folders, although a better solution (with more options and better methods) is the popular freeware program "MyDefrag." I'm not too familiar with defragging when it comes to SSD though; I hear there are right and wrong ways to do it.
