I have a new Alienware m11 laptop with a brand new Crucial M4 128GB SSD. I have installed the SSD but not used it yet. I am thinking of using FDE with DiskCryptor 1.0.732.111. I will install Win7 Pro x64. I have read about support for TRIM in v1.0.732.111 but also about leaving unpartitioned space. My SSD drive, 'Crucual M4' does not have a manufacturer built-in reserve like other drives.

My questions are:

  1. Should I leave some free unpartitioned space with v1 of DC and W7x64 even though it will support TRIM or should I not do this?
  2. Should I install DC v1 first or after installing Windows 7 (assuming it is brand new, never been used SSD)?

Thanks
