SSD disk compatibility

I have read in some blogs + articles that Win7 detects SSD disks and adjusts some settings based on that.
I have a OCZ Core series 128GB disk, and it works superb, but I don't think Win7 detected it as a SSD.
Disk defragmentation schedule was still on, for one example.
So, what does Win7 adjust when a SSD is detected?
How can I manually tell windows that the disk in my system is a SSD?

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 10:33 AMI would also be interested in a reply to the above question. I have W7 installed on a OCZ 60gb Core V2 and it works fine, just a bit worried about wear and optimisation.
I was using a trial version of MFT but found that the built in bench mark was eratic, but worked fine with Vista installed on the SSD, also the WEI would not give a score with W7 installed and MFT installed, but gave a score of 5.9 with it disabled. This is most probably a problem with MFT as it is still in beta, but I wondered if there were optimisations in W7 which were clashing with MFT? I would rather just use W7 but was using MFT to prolong the life of the SSD and optimise writes, (all tweaks applied as per the OCZ technical forum). -

The WEI scored my disk at 7.2 - not too shabby. Made me happy :)
