You know, I think the SSD toolkit is doing a bit more than just TRIM.
Disk: 13 GB free
Task: Moved a 10 GB folder (~50000 files) off to hard drive, moved a different ~10 GB folder (about the same # of files) to the SSD. This is close to the worst case scenario because a) free space is very low, and b) the entire free space region is being written over.
Crystaldiskmark before running the tool (after task completion): Writes 80/50/30 (sorry, I didn't save the exact numbers)
Crystaldiskmark after:
Sequential Write : 85.222 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 85.278 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 57.813 MB/s
Technically under Windows 7 and TRIM on (disabledeletenotify = 0), the performance before and after the task should be the same. But, it's not. And the tool restores performance.
/goes off to set the tool to run daily
