SSD Toolbox Trim issue?

[Jonnodude]

Hi there,

Just downloaded this Toolbox thing and when i try to run it it comes up with:

"cannot run the intel ssd optimizer on raid configurations"

Now im sure that these posts have been made before but i cant find any references and googleing doesnt give me a straight answer.

I do have a 1TB HDD active on my system but at the current moment in time it is blank.

Can anyone tell me how i can disable the 1TB drive so it doesnt pick it up so i can run TRIM?
Or better yet does anyone know a way around it without having to do that?

Alternitivly do i have any other options?

Cheers!

if you have raid, TRIM is not supported on it.

I've had this same problem.

My solution was to dump the AMD Sata drivers I had installed, and go back to the original MSACHI ones. I doubt this was any great loss if the interweb is to be believed...

The Intel tool now works. Well, at least it has for me.

But does it self defrag? I've read that if it idles it does something called garbage collection which is basically trim?
I have the Intel X25-M 80GB SSD btw

Depends on your controller and what drivers you are running. I know from experience that it is possible to TRIM these drives on a controller in RAID mode provided that the SSD itself is not part of an array, but you can run into issues on non-Intel chipsets (Nvidia, AMD, etc).
