Hi guys,
I am in the market for a new SSD. About a month ago I was set on a 160GB Intel 320, but then the 8mb bug surfaced. So now I am currently waiting on Intel to release the firmware update for the 320's to fix this. I have looked at other SSD's but I want to buy an Intel due to their (past) reliability. Hopefully once this problem is fixed it will be smooth sailing! Also I only have SATA-II so buying these new flashy SATA-III SSD's is not really worth it.
In the meantime I have been reading up on the Intel SSD Toolbox. Mostly to do with the "Optimizer". Those with Intel SSD's, do you run this? If yes how often and how do you find it?
I thought what the Optimizer does is what TRIM was invented for? ie. Doesn't W7 already do what the Optimizer does? Or is the Optimizer a more advanced and thorough TRIM procedure?
Cheers
Daniel
