I made them, lol. I'm just asking if they look like I did it right =)
But I'll take "It's normal" for a yes, heh.

You might find an easy way is to use the 'defrag and optimize app'.

Well, you didn't say that you created those tasks. We get a lot of such questions here, when people are wondering what kind of tasks are running on their PC and if it is legit or malware. So, i thought you asked the same kind of question.

As far as the task itself, the command line (details) look fine to me. And if it successfully executes and finishes, all is good.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that. My bad. I ran them manually one time to test them, and they executed properly. I just wanted a second opinion real quick to triple check my work. Thank you for your help =)

Too lazy to manually run TRIM =P

You use the app to run trim on a schedule.

That was the original task that lived in that location. It would never run when scheduled no matter what I did. So I got rid of it and made my own.

I think it just looks to see if trim is needed on a schedule.
If it is not needed it just moves on.
If it is needed it issues a trim command.

So depending on the amount of disk activity it make take days before a trim is issued.

I have it setup to check daily but the actual trim command is sent close to monthly.

When I checked mine earlier, it hadn't run in 57 days, which is probably the last time I opened the disk optimization program and did it manually...

The drives see a lot more activity than that and definitely needed TRIM a lot sooner. I think the baked in scheduled task was broken for some reason.

There is an optimize button you might to see if that piece of the app functions.

Correct. I created these tasks so that I no longer have to click that button =)
