Is my SSD aligned or is it not??

[Doomer]

Crucial C300 128gb SSD

Partition Starting offset = 41.126,400 = Not aligned ??

MiniTool Partition Wizard says it is aligned.

What other tool can I use to aalign this SSD? I've googled and altho this question comes up enumerable times, the answers are always gibberish (answer doesn't fit the question). All I want to do is align the partition, I don't want to clone, copy, benchmark, etc. I just want to align it.

Thanks

Can you use AS SSD Benchmark? No need to run the benchmark but if you open the app and select the drive of interest it will tell you if the drive is aligned and what drivers you are using.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I ran AS SSD. It says the drive is not aligned. Surely there cmust be another utility other than Partition Wizard that can align SSD's.

I did it with diskpart in Windows 7:

You can also use it from within an existing Windows 7, it's not only just available from the bootup disc.

Once again I make a fool out of myself by not RTFM. In Partition Wizard you click on "Align" and then apply. I clicked once and nothing happened. On the second click I got the message that it didn't need aligning. Kinda retarded but that's the way a lot of SW is. After RTFM, it did indeed align the SSD so now all is well.
