you need your write cache more than ever with an ssd as writes are pretty slow with them. the main performance tweak is to disable defraging your ssd as it doesn't help performance in anyway and can contribute to the early death of an ssd.
Turn your page file off. Go to Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Performance settings > Advanced > Virtual memory > Change > Uncheck "Automatic etc." > Select no paging file > "Set" button
Disable HDD optimised services - these are bad for SSDs.
Windows + R > Services.msc > Properties on Windows Search > Drop-down box > Disable > OK.

Disable system restore: Computer > Properties > System protection > Uncheck your SSD > OK.
