My understand for the current G2 Intel SSD's is that if you have AHCI enabled in BIOS and have the AHCI drivers installed and activated within Windows 7, then the TRIM function will be enabled and activce "without any user interaction" as they say on their support pages. What this seems to imply is that I don't need to run SSD Toolbox.
Is that correct? TRIM and "garbage collection" will be executed on its own without having to run SSD Toolbox? If so, how the heck do I verify that Windows 7's TRIM is doing its job??
Maybe I should run Toolbox weekly anyway, under the assumption that it won't hurt to be extra sure?
What do you guys with Intel drives in AHCI mode do with respect to the Toolbox, anything at all?
Thanks,
Brian
