    So they don't need defrag, and I should try keep 5-10% free space at all times for performance reasons - is there anything else to be aware of with SSDs in general, and on Windows specifically (and is what I've said correct)?

    I've noticed a couple of quite full folders taking some time for contents to appear after opening.

    Don't defrag it, that'll actually hurt the drive and shorten it's lifespan.

    What OS are you using? Make sure that TRIM is enabled: http://lifehacker.com/5640971/check-if-trim-is-enabled-for-your-solid-state-drive-in-windows-7

    I'd definitely leave the 10-15% of space free but I don't know if it's necessary. What's the content of the folder that's taking it's time to open?

    Edit: Hurray me for not reading OP properly :o

    That's because windows is trying to generate thumbnails of all the images probably. Disable the indexing service.
