Manual OCZ TRIM software? mobo doesn't support AHCI

[ViviTheMage]

I found this :

but it does not work for me. I have an Asus P5N-D that does not support AHCI, so I need to run TRIM manually....I assume garbage collecting is at the firmware, so I won't worry about that.

Any idea on the TRIM though? And how often I should run it?

Little more digging ... will I be OK with no AHCI?

I don't usually trust yahoo answers, but it seems like a good idea. So TRIM still works, even if AHCI is not selected?

I do notice some small performance loss with this new drive, and not being on AHCI.

TRIM isn't dependant on AHCI so that is correct. The MS IDE drivers do support TRIM, the rest of the pack don't iirc.

So I just have a little performance loss? I'll live thanks.

performance does suffer on IDE.
