As I have already written >here<, I have yesterday updated the OS of my Intel Z77 RAID0 system from Windows 8 Pro (with WMC) to Windows 8.1 Preview (with WMC).
Interesting findings:
The Windows 8.1 "Optimizer" (former Defrag Tool) doesn't detect my SSDs (2xSamsung 840 Pro as RAID0) anymore and shows them as HDDs.
Look here:
Now I am a little bit afraid, that the "Optimizer" will defrag my SSDs instead of sending TRIM commands to them.
Usually the detection of SSDs can be forced by running the Windows Experience Index (= WEI, file name: WINSAT.EXE), but within the Properties of my System I cannot find the option to (re)run the WEI.
Here is the related screenshot of the System Properties:
Trying to run the WINSAT.EXE manually was without any effect.
Question:
Does anyone know how to execute the Windows Experience Index on Win8.1?
By the way: TRIM is working within my SSD RAID0 array (tested with the TRIMCheck Tool).
