Problem with Intel SSD Toolbox

MarcLister · 10 Apr 2010 at 21:57

Got Intel SSD Toolbox to run its SSD Optimizer every Saturday at 2pm. It didn't run today at 2pm so I ran it myself but it failed.

The SSD Optimizer box in the SSD Management Tools pane went red and said "Error creating Intel SSD Optimizer files on the selected drive".

I've run the Fast and Full diagnostic scan and both were fine. Just run a chkdsk now and that's fine as well. So why is the Toolbox having problems?

Also can I check that installing this Rapid Storage Technology package is a good idea? Looks to get TRIM done automatically?

Has the drive got lots of '.bin' files left on the drive? like here if so delete them and try again. And yes installing the latest Intel drivers will allow TRIM to work if you're using a previous version of the Intel drivers.

But wrong.

I checked the C: and there weren't any existing .bin files prior to me running the optimizer again, or trying to at least.

I then thought perhaps it was because I hadn't restarted my PC since I installed the new version of NOD. I restarted the PC and that didn't work but then the Intel RST drivers did some work with W7 on the disk drivers and I had to restart again. The optimizer then worked.

Yes I know that. Hence the

I looked at the suggestion and found that it wasn't the right answer. The

was to indicate that it wasn't the right answer for me. I also quoted the "Nice answer" because I would never have thought about that, or indeed googled that, in years.

But thanks for telling me off for something that has nothing to do with you.
