If you think TRIM is working, think again!

A few people might have needed a boink on the head though lately, but I doubt they reading it anyway.

Oh. You mean as in "Have you had your vegetables? . . . How 'bout a V8?" boink-in-the-head. I thought boinking was something you did with somebody else chosen according to your fundamental sechshural pref'rence.

Here is my comment:

1. All Intel RST drivers since v9.6.0.1014 (except v12.5.0.1066) do support TRIM, if the Intel SATA ports are running in AHCI mode.

   Thank you--that was helpful info. I have two older Dell Latitude laptops with SSDs that were running an earlier RST version without TRIM support. The TRIM Check tool reported that TRIM was not enabled, so after reading your comment, I managed to find updated RST drivers and install them. The tool now reports that TRIM is supported.

What-evah! What-evah! Truth is -- there were recent threads gone stale covering this topic per the Intel Controllers, RAID and TRIM.

I have no idea what you're on about. Although I often get that feeling with your posts/threads.

Those remarks are just harmless banter.

This matter of TRIM, RAID, IRST and Intel controllers has been discussed in threads going back to January -- or -- some threads on peripheral topics contained such a discussion.

I'm more troubled by Samsung's tech-support accessibility than I am about TRIM and storage modes. As far as I can see, AHCI mode with any AHCI driver assures TRIM.

I wish Samsung would freakin' release a Magician Software that works with RAID 🙁

where the hell did you see any advertisements?

I have Adblock Plus installed on my Pale Moon browser maybe that's why I didn't see any ads. Either way, I was just googling how to really check if TRIM is working and came across that article so I posted it. you don't even need to click it, simply download the file and follow my instructions

His point is that your post is written like an advertisement.

yeah but that's not the intention. I don't know the author or anything, nor is the app paid, it's a free small dos thing to check TRIM

and I never see ads (adBlock Edge) so I didn't even know there are ads

What the hell does that have to do with this thread?

It looks to me like this thread is turning into into one big argument.

That fsutil command will report zero even on a system with only HDDs, so no, it's not a verification method for whether TRIM is working. It's more like an override switch to disable TRIM (if it even does that, I've never read about anyone testing it in that respect). There are quite a few registry keys that are meant as overrides only.

I did test this a while back with that trimcheck third party utility and it does seem to disable it as soon as you set it to 1 (no reboot needed).
