"Volume Shadow Copy" disabling on Intel SSD

Hi experts.

I have a 310 series mSata Intel SSD (for use in a tablet). In my other thread on an issue with this SSD and the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and AMD chipset, a user with a similar issue found that it could be resolved via disabling the "Volume Shadow Copy" service on the SSD.

I believe this service allowes for disk imaging and backups in the background, ensuring that active processes/files can be backed-up. Aside from backups, is there any other downside or issue for an intel SSD in disabling this service?

Thanks,

Sheeds.
