Do not use the Perfect Disk 10 consolidate free space part of Tony Trim or any other consolidate utility. Simply run windows disk clean up utility, then run AS Cleaner with use FF box checked.
I tried this, and performance went up very slightly. However, there is still a big gap between the current performance of the drive and the performance of the drive prior to running Tony-Trim for the first time.
How can I recover the performance lost due to Tony-Trim? Can I just make an image of my C drive, reformat the SSD, and then restore the image back onto the SSD?
You can make an image of the C drive reformat and image back. If performance does not return however try running AS Cleaner with the "useFF" box checked again on the drive. Only use AS Cleaner. This should restore performance. It also is a good idea that once you run this utility to reboot your machine. There are instances when the drives controller and the NTFS filesystems metadata become out of sync and it takes either time or a reboot to get that straight again. This can effect performance, it is not that common but can occur.
Yeah! Better to create an image of the current C drive and use HDDErase to wipe off your SSD, then restore the image
You are not gonna get anything by formatting since your drive doesn't support TRIM
just my 2cents

Those two have nothing to do with each other. A format will get the drive back to original....how could it not?

"Formatting" in and of itself is not necessarily going to restore SSD performance. The individual blocks have to be restored to a state where the OS sees them as available to be written. Simple formatting or "zeroing" a drive does not do this.

LOL, thanks YB....I have 2 SSDs and know knothing about them.
Usually I read up before purchases, but "SSD fevor" got the best of me.
It's scary running an unknow tool on your whole file system.
At least my 80gb g2 Intel has the "toolbox" download, but I'm lost on my Samsung based Kingston drive.
you are wrong mate! That's true with HDDs but not with SSDs unless you have TRIM, If you want to get back the SSD to original performance state u gotta do a Secure erase or Format if TRIM is supported

I have an 80gb g2 intel in my HP dv8 lappy. My scores are much lower than others I see. In the bios I see no settings for achi, and am not sure if "trim" is running. I have run the toolbox optimizer and it looks to be supported.
My main box has a Kingston (Samsung) 64gb with no features that I can find. It is running fine as far as I can tell and is installed ide.. bad I know.
I might be an SSD loser, LOL.
I will get it all straightened out at some point, but bought in before reading for sure on this one...

Download CrystalDiskInfo and you can check whether TRIM is enabled in Supported Features section
