Peridoic SSD Maintenance Using TRIM Functionality
Hello all,
I just did a clean install of Win 7 to a newly installed Patriot Pyro 60GB SSD. I verified that TRIM was active (via the "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" and the result was "0"); however, my new SSD shows up as a standard hard drive in the "Defrag and Optimize" view and if I hit the defrag button, it looks like it is doing a normal defrag (eg, Pass 0 completed, etc) so I have disabled scheduled defrags. Now, is this normal bahavior for Win 7 and is TRIM just working in background?
The reason I ask is because I have the same SSD installed on a Win 8 machine and the "Defrag and Optimize" view correctly identifies it as a "solid state device" and if I try to defrag it manually, Win 8 invokes the TRIM function (the progression now shows TRIM started/completed information).
Thanks for your help,
