I was reading the white paper on Intel's SSD Optimizer. IN there it
says that if you're using Windows 7 and Microsoft AHCI storage driver,
then the OS will contain native support support to excute the ATA Data
set Management command on the Intel SSD and no user interaction is
required. However, if you're using Intel Matrix Storage manager with
Win7, then you do need the tools. Now, I never installed any Matrix
Storage manager...and I can't see evidence of it on the device manager.
So, am I good?

It came in the last several minutes.
