It would seem that on the writes, performance is restored to Jan 2010
results after running Intel SSD Optimizer!

No, I had not been running it. I just did...and it took quite a while

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.

Did you run crystaldiskinfo on yours? Mine shows 100% good health
status
with TRIM supported under Windows 7-64. It shows NO TRIM support on the
other drives (magnetic). I've been running this since January 2010.

Interesting...so doing some more research, I dl'ed the Intel SSD
Toolbox from Intel...with it I verifed that my G2 has the latest
firmware 02HA which added the TRIM support. I use it to view drive
info, check SMART attribs, and ran both the fast and full
diagnostic scans (the reads worked but the write tests failed b/c I
didn'thave 5GB free fyi).
Then I went into the SSD mgmt tools and interestingly enough there
are three there:
Intel SSD Optimizier
System Configuration Tuner
Secure Erase
Next to SSD Optimizer, it says Intel recommends running this once a
week and the status is "Never Run Before". The description says it
"Optimizes 34mm SSDs using Trim functionality and that you need the
latest firmware for this to work"-and that it doesn't work with
50mm SSDs
Next to System Config Tuner it says to run it for more details, and
the status says (in red) "System configuration is NOT optimal"
though I have to run it to find out why apparently.
And you can't run Secure Erase on a bootable or partitioned SSD
apparently.
So given the first one (SSD Optimizer) was I really supposed to be
running this once a week? Somehow I missed that...and what does the
System Config tuner mean when it says system config is NOT optimal?
Are all you other SSD owners/users using this tool and running it
weekly and all that jazz?
Figured I'd check first before going and doing it and making things
possibly worse...! :P

I think that AHCI has to be enabled for the trim stuff to work.

I have the 160 is mine is fine. Are you just loading up more stuff?
Bloat is a problem after months...with windows.

Hey guys,
So trying to remember correctly here...I got a Intel X-25M G2
80GB SSD earlier this year for my laptop. I'm running Win7 Ent on
the machine and installed it clean on here. I've noticed that
things have gotten a bit slower the last few months (searches
aren't as snappy) and windows actually seem to hang from
time-to-time in what looks like HD access hangs...
This is a bit disconcerting as I *thought* that I didn't need to
worry about SSD slowdown with Win7 on the newer ones like the G2,
or am I forgetting something? I remember reading that Win7
enables TRIM and that the G2 was supposed to have support for it,
so I thought everything should be good, but things definitely
aren't up-to-snuff...
So in case I messed up somehow, was there a patch for my SSD that
I missed or something? How do I check if TRIM is working? Figured
that if anyone would know what to look for it would be you guys!
Thanks!
