SSD TRIM Win 7 Pro with a Kingston Hyper X 128 GB SSD.

Thread needs solution

Acronis TI 2013 build 6514 installed software, but using build 6528 boot disk (recovery manger maybe-I don't remember the title of the download, but I think there is only one ISO download for 6528). F11 Acronis Recovery Manager NOT activated.

After booting from a CD that was a burned ISO download from Acronis, I noticed an issue TRIM command in the tools section. Nice feature to have before recovering a back-up image onto SSDs, although some readings indicate that it's not necessary. When using, I was issued a response that the SSD didn't support TRIM, or that it couldn't be done on this SSD. But that's incorrect. The model supports TRIM and it's activated in the OS, as displayed by the correct registry setting. Additionally, Crystal Disk Info indicates in "features" that is is enabled. Also, I also have not experienced any slow down in either system performance or read/write testing results (AS SSD or Crystal Disk Mark), both of which are possible signs that TRIM is not working. Anyone know what's up here? A manual ability to perform TRIM is a nice feature to have for SSDs.
Thanks.

I saw this feature as well on an older version of the BOOT CD. I messed around with it and couldn't get it to do anything. I haven't seen anything in the documentation either.

If a device is TRIM capable and is enabled in the OS, verified with output from a command prompt, there is nothing more you need to do. If you own an SSD that has bad blocks or whose performance has diminished so dramatically over time, then I would use the manufacturers disk tools or secure erase in HDPARM to restore performance or reallocate bad blocks.

I am in agreement with the readings that indicate its not necessary. Windows 7 and later will enable the feature automatically on a TRIM capable device. Most of the SSD's are coming with firmware that supports automatic garbage collection as well, this is an additional bonus.
