Vertex 2E and trim?

k3wt · 28 Oct 2012 at 19:04

Ive done a google search and havent seem to have found a defintive answer as to whether i should trim my drive (sandforce?) or not. I use O&O defrag for my regular drives which kicks in on screensaver and i feel that maybe its done something to my SSD also:/

Anyhow, it has a trim function in the software, so should I use it on this drive or not?

Many thanks

With Win7 TRIM is enabled automatically.

You might have to run the Windows Experience Index to get it to recognise that it is an SSD.

Yes you should be using trim. Though as above it is probably already turned on if you are using windows 7.

Likely yes, but sometimes, as has happened to me, WEI needs to be run, otherwise it will try and defrag your SSD and won't enable TRIM, which can damage your SSD. Gives you a nice number to try and improve with overclocking anyway :rolleyes:
