Some people who have used parted magic for secure erase there solid state drive now can't update there firmware. So am thinking if i should use this method. Plus if i use the parted magic will that delate my firmware that i have allready

1st thing to do once your build is put together,
is to follow my SSD optimization guide.
then, install your O/S
then, install your needed drivers and apps

About the parted magic in your SSD optimization guide. Do i use boot from usb with parted magic on it like how i will do windows 7 from usb once i finish the build. or can i use it by putting the ssd in a enclosure and go to my laptop that has all ready windows on it and do it like that
