OK dl'ed it and ran it...also have 100% good health...and yeah I'm on Win7-64 too...shows the TRIM support (power on count 113, power on hours 143). So do you run the SSD optimizer once a week (like JRS does, and my roommate does who has the 160GB one on XP)? I just clicked on the System Config Tuner and saw that "SuperFetch" was enabled and it tells me to disable it...interesting...has anyone else tweaked this? So I went and disabled it and now it's happy. Guess I'll run the SSD Optimizer once to be safe and see what happens...thanks guys. BINO
