So, you're saying that Windows 7 supports TRIM, but my hardware may not
allow it to work, right? then I need the Install SSD toolbox, right?

Windows 7 will always try to issue the trim command. That trim
command to still work its way through other layers so if the driver it
goes throsn't support trim the trim command will be dropped or
ignored.

Are you sure that all implementations of Windows& have TRIM support? I'm
not so sure anymore (I never ways but now I'm in serious doubt about that
claim).
Rick posted this in another thread:

Some of you may not get this notification from Intel.
It came in the last several minutes.
(I think we discussed it here very recently.)
"The new Intel® SSD Toolbox (version 1.2) and SSD
Toolbox Users Guide are now available for download at
<www.intel.com/go/ssdtoolbox>
We encourage you to take advantage of this free download
to monitor and tune the performance of your Intel® Solid State Drive."

You might want to read the white paper. I wrote this in a message the other
day:
"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. "
In my bios, SATA AHCI support is turned off, thought my SSD is working now.
So I assume Windows 7 must be using some other storage driver, though I
have yet to figure out which (anyone know how?). I'm going to load up the
SSD Toolbox and see what happens (gosh, I hope it doesnt erase my disc
again!).

One major issue with that review. They installed the Intel Matrix
Storage driver which will disable TRIM in Windows 7. Also the way he
was saying Intel has TRIM so it should be faster doesn't make sense,
it only makes the drive faster after the drive has been used (i.e. it
keeps the drive from slowing down over time)
