I installed the new drivers with no problems. Which benchmark/Smart monitor program do you recommend. I find the German site intimidating but if that's the one, I'll try it.

Hdtune expired. Yes, I know it's not the greatest.

i just let windows do its thing. 7 was supposed to take care of SSd's on its own, if it doesnt then false advertiseing and poor MS coding on their part i guess.

windows 7 does take care of SSDs... it does everything for you on a clean install for an SSD.

But after you do a clean install, you often install drivers. You can install a driver that replaces the MS driver with one that does not support TRIM.
You can also have bought an old (or some hypothetical crappy future) SSD which does not support TRIM. Or your mobo might not have hardware which has support for it.

Win7 does everything it can within the limitations of the hardware and firmware. It has no control over your hardware and the firmware in it, and cannot and should not be held responsible for those.

And there is more to handling SSDs right then TRIM.

There is a tool available (called hIOmon) that can capture the extent to which the Windows operating system is actually issuing SSD TRIM commands.

The tool includes a "Windows Sidebar Gadget" that can display a subset of TRIM-related metrics during everyday, normal usage of your computer system.

Here's another screenshot of the gadget as posted within this forum.
