Hi,

Just installed my Crucial SSD drive in my computer. Running on SATA 2 at present.

What tool do I need to make sure I have trim enabled etc.

Many Thanks
 
What is your OS?

If I recall correctly the C300 is OS (Win7) enabled Trim. If your SSD is for your OS and applications it is a good idea to have run the system test. Once that has been done the OS will automatically detect that the hard drive is a SSD and adjust accordingly. The only thing I always do is manually change the system schedule to never do a defrag of my SSD.
 
Thanks for the repky.

It is Windows 7 64 bit.

Currently running it as secondary drive, until such time as i get to reinstall Windows 7 on SSD as primary drive.

How can I test it is working correctly?

Thanks
 
Windows 7 should also turn off defrag on its own, but always worth a quick look, as I have heard this doesn't always happen.

Yes quite right that is indeed the reason I suggest to all my mates to do it manually. That way it is certain.

As to how to know.

Go to the Command prompt and type > fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
